YKC100 - Critical Thinking I
In order to understand and have control of our beliefs and actions, and a systematic way to make informed choices from among the options we are presented in our complicated lives, we must know what good reasoning is. Logic as a main branch of philosophy focuses on the study of reasoning. Reasoning well requires using standards of clarity, accuracy, fairness, and consistency. To this end, the foundational concepts of logic are applied to the examination of arguments both historical and contemporary in our challenging and ever-changing world. The reasoning and analytical skills learned in YKC100 are fundamental to preparing students for working with complex philosophical arguments in YKC200.
