A History of Logic Christopher Robinson Wed Jan 10, 17, 24, 31, 06-07:30pm, 8-205 No enrollment limit, no advance sign up Participants welcome at individual sessions (series) This course will sketch the development of the analysis of reasoning in the three great independent traditions extending from China, India, and Greece. The goals are 1) to show that the Aristotelian logical tradition is not privileged as a representation of the methods of reasoning; and 2) to have a good discussion on the difficult issue of the relationship between thought and language.
