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
