Logic focuses on finding and using good reasons for believing something’s true. Logic 2, following the Veritas Press logic curriculum, focuses on formal logic. Students learn to analyze and construct arguments in symbolic language using deductive reasoning. Logic 2 builds on Logic 1’s treatment of the nature of truth, the means of knowing, and the justification of belief. Logic 2 focuses, though, on the formal elements of categorical and propositional logics. Topics include syllogisms, symbolic language, truth tables, truth trees, and proofs. Also included in Logic 2 are discussions of concept maps and Euler and Venn diagrams.Students are strongly encouraged to have had at least pre-algebra beforehand. As many students have discovered, studying logic is a vital part of learning to think well.
