Presentation Transcript

  1. Logic: as tool of Philosophy • Science of correct reasoning • Nature of man: correct thinking • To examine our ability to adapt: • in difficult or controversial cases. • Organizing ideas/arguments: • expressing them with more accuracy • drawing legitimate conclusions.

  2. FORMAL & MATERIAL LOGIC • FORMAL LOGIC • CORRECTNESS RATHER THAN THE TRUTH • Has to do with correctness or sequence or the following of rules. • Not on the material content of the argument. • To reason correctly is not necessarily the same as to reason truthfully.

  3. E.g. Formal Logic: Practice makes perfect Nobody is perfect Why practice?

  4. Pagsumama ka samatalino, tatalino ka rin! • Pagsumama ka saadik, magigingadik ka rin! • Try mo sumamasa AKIN… • Bakamaging AKIN ka rin!

  5. MATERIAL LOGIC • Concerned with the truth • thought-contents is in correspondence with reality • Connection: mind & real order

  6. E.g. Material Logic The human soul is endowed with intellect and will; But, what is endowed with intellect and will is spiritual; Ergo, the human soul is spiritual.

  8. Arguments • Nature of an argument • Argument is an inferential thinking that is composed of conclusion and premise(assertion/statement) from which the conclusion is inferred. • Inferential: the process of reasoning from a premise to a conclusion; in which the conclusion is drawn from evidential reasoning.

  9. E.g. • Premise 1: anything that moves is moved by another; • Premise 2: but, the ball moves • Conclusion: therefore, the ball is moved by another.

  10. INFERENTIAL? PREMISES WHAT IS CLAIMED TO FOLLOW FROM THE EVIDENCE CLAIMED EVIDENCE CONCLUSION

  11. VALID & INVALID ARGUMENTS • Valid: (T-T) INFERENTIAL • The conclusion is true because of the true premises. • It is impossible that the premises of an argument are true and the conclusion false
