Logic In Philosophy: Logical Fallacies And Common Mistakes

This course will help you think more clearly through many of life's dilemmas and difficult situations. Some logical fallacies you might be familiar with are:Ad hominem, begging the question, red herring fallacy, hasty generalization, false dichotomy, slippery slope fallacy, tu quoque, appeal to authority, and false dilemma. We will focus on these issues and a number of other issues throughout the course, and mainly finding inconsistencies of how we understand the world, situation, and how those inconsistencies and errors have an impact on our decisions in regard to our lives.

PHILOSOPHY APPLIED TO REAL-LIFEPhilosophy can be boring to study because it's sometimes hard to apply it to real-world situations. In this course, I make sure that the ideas explained have real-world applications, which immediately makes this topic interesting and useful in life. Coming soon: Logic in debates.
