Latest Video: Introduction to Logic

Here’s lecture one of the brand new logic course now available at my Liberty Classroom. The whole course is great, as is its professor, Gerard Casey of University College, Dublin. Professor Casey has been teaching logic and other courses in philosophy for over 30 years. His most recent books are Murray Rothbard and Libertarian Anarchy: Against the State.

Subscriber Martin Brock writes:

The course is excellent. I have degrees in computer science and mathematics, so I’ve had a lot of formal training in logic, but I’ve never seen this natural language approach. It’s intuitive and familiar but nonetheless rigorous. A high school English teach once told me that logic belonged in her department, rather than the mathematics department, where it had settled by that time, but I never understood what she meant until now.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    The course is excellent. I have degrees in computer science and mathematics, so I’ve had a lot of formal training in logic, but I’ve never seen this natural language approach. It’s intuitive and familiar but nonetheless rigorous. A high school English teach once told me that logic belonged in her department, rather than the mathematics department, where it had settled at that time, but I never understood what she meant until now. I spent years learning to translate propositional logic into natural English, largely on my own by trial and error. Now, I wonder if my whole approach to the subject was backward.

    What a great interface – the personalized touch of seeing the speaker, in addition to a lot of screen real estate for examples and such. What do you use to accomplish this? This is an enjoyable way to learn.

    Thanks for putting this up Tom. I enjoyed it. A couple more paydays and I think I’ll become a member.

  • Mr. M

    Thank you – I think it’s a great choice.

    I’d love to see Professor Casey comment on the fallacy of voting for the “lesser of two evils”.
