Logic lecture 7

This evening we spent most of the time on proofs after going over the rest of the inference rules and replacement rules. There were two quiz questions this evening. The first was do you think God has to be logical? The second was to do problem 11 in exercise 8F section IV. Keep in mind that next week the last part of class will be test 3 based on that exercise.

Logic Lecture 6

This evening we continued to work on symbolic logic. There were two quiz questions. The first was what do you think of relativity? (This comes up regarding the postmodern view that statements and their contradictions can both be believed provided it is recognized that they are true in different linguistic contexts. I used Slavoj Zizek as an example. It is the main reason I think Americans have trouble understanding modern Europeans. The second quiz question was to do problem 8 on page 391. I did make a video of the first part of this evening's lecture. You may find this presentation on relativism interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmYndY0p058
