This subject provides students with an introduction to the study of the fundamental problems in philosophy and the various responses that have been made to them. Different views on the relevant issues will be critically examined. Throughourt the critical examination of the relevant issues, students will be encouraged to develop a reasoned view of man, society and universe. They are then challenged to think for themselves and make explicit the grounds for their judgments.

This course aims at providing an introduction to both classical and modern logic.
In classical logic the main topics dealt with will be the nature of terms and propositions; immediate inference by means of conversion etc.; mediate inference by means of categorical syllogisms; the figures and moods of the categorical syllogism; the hypothetical syllogism; and the expression of reasoning by Euler's diagrams.
In modern logic the main area will be that of the propositional calculus, with attention to the basic operations and the construction of truth tables.
