Confusing example 6 at 3:00 "I will jump off if and only if you do" Makes it sound like "you will jump off if and only if I do" is the same equivalence - whereas they are subtly different. More accurate is _"I will jump off if and only if you have"_ or _"I will jump off if and only if I'm convinced you will do so"_ "If and only if" is sometimes a confusing concept for beginners, so we probably need a better example for it.

Dear TeachPhilosophy. Thank you for doing the work of recording this!! I am a teacher of philosophy at a high school, and I want to teach a much more robust unit on logic next time around. This is giving me a way to learn myself what I find difficult to learn on my own (I have never taken any classes on philosophy or learned logic from any teacher...all self-taught. And I was never good at math, so the symbolic part does not come as easily). Rather than play all your videos for my students, do you mind if I (having given you full credit and linked them to your videos) use the scope and sequence, and even some of the examples you use in my lessons?

I'm doing first year civil engineering, i've seen some of these symbols, such as the Tilde, wedge, and horseshoe in my maths textbook in year 12. When I first saw these questions as part of one of my assignments for university, I had ill-will towards it, as I would have preferred to do integral calculus as opposed to symbolic logic to enhance my logical thinking skills. Moreover, I felt that it was irrelevant to a maths course. But you clearly enjoy it, and that's enough motivation for me to want to enjoy and learn it. I'll smash your videos out instead of lecture slides :p. Sorry for the lengthy comment, cheers mate!

Application: computer function. Modern or propositional or methematical or symbolic logic. In categorical logic, conventional symbols like letters are used to denote terms( either subject or predicate). For eg. If M stands for Men and m for mortal All M is m (where M and m are understand as terms). However in propositional logic they are used to denote sentences itself.
@Thirdeye37
@Thirdeye37 10 лет назад
In the biconditional example, I will jump off a cliff if you do, isn't the last line, false false, not necessarily true, but ambiguous? It seems to me that something is only rendered true if it is carried out or there is evidence of it.

Categorical logic can be strongly useful for argumentation theory tho! But as always, symbolic logic is better ;)

@mo7sin711
@mo7sin711 8 лет назад
how do you read: Let R = {x|x ∉ x}, then R ∈ R ⇔ R ∉ R ??
@lugus9261
@lugus9261 7 лет назад
mo7sin i believe thats a form of russells paradox i think it says R = x or x not an element of x then R is an element of R if and only if (i don't use that symbol often but im sure the arrows are if and only if, i prefer the triple lines, R is not an element of R. so pretty much (if this is just another form of Russells paradox ) its trying to say can something be apart of a class that depends on its existance to be said class. like a box in a box out of a box etc etc. the analogue normally used is one that goes something like "in a village where everyone who DOESN'T shave themselves get shaved BY THE BARBER, does the barber shave himself or not. in this the barber would have to shave himself if he didn't shave himself but if he did shave himself then he'd be getting shaved by the barber, yet only people who don't shave themselves get shaved by the barber. so it's a "paradox"

@conpa18dany 9 лет назад
Is this right? When I visualize a conditional, I think of it as being a prediction. For example, when one predicts something, we are basically saying that the consequent will be true. If, however, the antecedent is false, one has not said anything false yet! As long as the consequent is true, our prediction will be true. But, if our consequent is false, and the antecedent is false, our prediction cannot be disproven because the antecedent never occurred. In other words if both are false then it must be true.
@teachphilosophy
@teachphilosophy 9 лет назад
Hi Conpa, yes, your last sentence is true. Think about this, "If you ace the exam, you will ace the course." This conditional statement could be true even if you make a B on the exam and ace the course.

The fact that formal logic or modern logic as you put it can not interpret why or how statements is the exact observational reason why it is not logically complete. Yet reality itself is logically complete. Therefore we need an improved system of logic more accurate to objective reality.

@fleetfeet2004
@fleetfeet2004 8 лет назад
I have a hard time understanding why we should symbolize everything when symbolic logic doesn't work for non truth claims -- the most important arguments are not truth claims. Also, by symbolizing every conjuction, you change and limmit the meaning of words to the ruled of symbolic logic. I mean, this seems so elementary that it's not even worth taking the course in the first place.
@teachphilosophy
@teachphilosophy 8 лет назад
+Robbie Wilson Hi Robbie. Take this example. Is the following argument good, "If god exists, there is good in the world. There is good in the world. Therefore, God exists." Or this argument: "if John is happy then he is playing football. John is playing football, therefore, John is happy." Are these arguments good? If you studied formal logic well, then you immediately know these arguments are bad because they take this invalid/fallacious form "If a then b. b, therefore a. " The person who has not studied it spends a lot of time thinking about god, goodness, happy, football, etc.... and often make mistakes. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by truth claims. Most arguments do involve truth claims.... even opinion arguments because symbolic logic is about assuming the premises are true and seeing what follows. Symbolic logic has value, but I agree it is not necessarily the most important thing to study.... depends on your goals. If your goal is to be a logical jedi, study it as well as informal logic . If not, that's ok. check out my video on formal fallacies for a bit more on the value of formal logic.
@fleetfeet2004
@fleetfeet2004 8 лет назад
teachphilosophy Thanks for that. I wrote my post quite a long time ago and I've come to understand formal logic a lot more since then.
@fleetfeet2004
@fleetfeet2004 8 лет назад
Gabriel Warren​​​​​ Oh wow. I always approach things with the idea that an "argument must be valid, otherwise I can't be bothered with discussing it" type of mentality. Otherwise I always felt like we'd be getting into Mind body dualism and a whole bunch of other hubbub that may be logically sound, but otherwise ridiculous. I can't stand epistemology for this reason. Where I thrive is within Moral philosophy, where logic can take a back seat to "what just seems right or wrong." I love this because it usually gets under the skin of the purely logical, but ridiculous types (and what I mean by ridiculous is that while their arguments might be logically sound, they have no more evidence to support their argument then they do to disprove their argument -- which, in my mind, makes it completely worthless; especially if over hundreds or thousands of years nobody has done any better). I also wonder how this sort of formal logic is used in computer science. Do computers rely on only formal logic, or does code need to also do things that need proof, validity, in the sense that files and commands *must actually exist* in order for a program to *actually do something.* I bring computer science up because it is a field based on formal logic (boolean algebra and discrete math). But your comment really helped me see just how far off the mark I was. Really, thank you.

It's like shorthand. Maths does not need to be symbolized..you could use words. It would take longer to write though. Three plus four equals seven, is longer than 3+4=7. And it also requires you all speak the same language whereas symbols can be more international.
