High School Logic 2: Introduction to Symbolic Logic

This online course, spanning two semesters, delves into the fundamental principles of logical reasoning. It begins by exploring historical approaches, from the Socratic method up to modern truth-functional logic. Key topics include Aristotelian syllogistic logic, Stoic propositional logic, and 19th-century advancements in formal languages, culminating in a comprehensive study of modern predicate logic and modal logic. Upon completion, students can expect to enhance their critical thinking, argumentation, and persuasion skills. Notably, this course offers dual enrollment credit, granting 1 high school credit and 3 college credits upon successful completion. The spring semester builds upon the fall, so it cannot be taken independently.
