The prerequisite for this course is a formal logic course (P-150 or
P-250 or their equivalents). Although this course is not completely
technical in nature, common background knowledge of first order
logic's concepts and methods is essential for the conceptual
analysis of these topics:
The gap between the dictates and principles of formal logic
and the ways we use operators in Natural Language.
Extended Logics and Deviant Logics: What problems do they
address?
The role of theories of Truth in logic and reasoning.
Can logical systems be used to measure human rationality?
What other models can be more psychologically real?
Naive Logic: a suggested heuristical pet theory of inference.
