Well I've done the introductory logic course at usyd and I can tell you, what you just wrote up are no where near the notes for it. Where is the predicate logic?fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:What? I'm still in first year dude. How could I have done a senior course?
Enteebee said:nah the course i did was more like:
Q.3. Using trees method, determine whether the following propositions are tautologies. For any propositions that is not a tautology, read off from your tree a model on which it is false.
(∀x)(Fx ⊃ Gx) ∨ (∃x)(Fx & ~Gx)
[(A É B) Ù (C É ¬ B)] É (C É ¬ A)fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:I dont really want to waste an arts subject.
er no it is a tautology afaik.BackCountrySnow said:um nope, no tautologies there.
I'm studying for my philosophy distinction course.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:Fuck you Brad. Stop being too smart for your own good. Go back to studying for the HSC or something.
P.S. Come to USyd
WAT WAS THE NAME OF SAID COURSE!fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:Yeah it was pretty easy. It was basically the philosophy underlying academic discourse. Basically we learned convention, fact, opinion and preference; deductive and inductive proof; validity and truth; evidence; and the ethics of persuasion etc. Its pretty basic stuff so yeah I guess it was pretty piss easy.
Nah I haven't done it. I'm just aware of what's in it. I understand that it's kind of like Academic Writing, but with an emphasis on developing arguments rather than essay writing, if you get what I mean.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:@ Neb: have you done the critical thinking course. Ive considered doing it but changed my mind. If so what is it like? Sounds a bit boring imo. I dont really want to waste an arts subject.
Philosophy covers a lot of things though, Mel. Depends on what kind of philosophy you're talking about.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:Oh you mean Reality, ethics and beauty... yeah I'm actually considering that... I thought you were talking about introductory logic... I still dont really get what exactly is "philosophy"... Philosophy just seems to be used in all scenarios...
Well it wasn't just philosophy, it came up in a religion discussion.Enteebee said:hahahahaha What? You were verbally cornered for being an AGNOSTIC in a philosophy discussion? My god.
Philosophy: How to know things and then what we know, requiring an entirely cogent/logical/rational reason the entire way. When you take such things for granted you are not engaging in a philosophical discussion, i.e. Say you take science for granted without considering the epistemology/philosophy behind it. Or you say X is bad without considering your philosophical reasoning behind such a statement...fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:See thats what confuses me. Philosophy seems to be everything but if philosophy is everything, whats the use of having other subjects?
Science is one particular philosophy, or a philosophical method which is part of a philosophy, for gathering knowledge.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:So basically philosophy is the reasoning behind what we know? Dumb question but then what would be the difference between science and philosophy?
I didn't say science IS philosophy... I said science is one particular method of gathering SOME/(For some people all) knowledge which has philosophical underpinnings.lolokay said:science is philosophy? not sure that that would be correct
science = uses empirical methods, philosophy = uses thought to understand the nature of things
