Material Logic

This online course offers a practical exploration of conceptual elements underlying rational thinking, with a focus on language and thought basics. It centers around Aristotle's distinctions—ten categories, five predicables, and four causes—aiming to enhance students' critical thinking skills. The course demands a daily time commitment of 30-45 minutes. Grades are determined by participation, weekly quizzes, and a final exam. No prerequisite is required, but familiarity with Traditional Logic I and II is beneficial. Students need specific materials, including Martin Cothran's 'Material Logic' bookset and a USB headset microphone.
