A Very Basic Introduction to Logic and Syllogistic Logic

Logic is a branch of philosophy that examines and appraises different arguments. This video attempts to introduce the very basics of logic by defining logic, examining what an argument is, and understanding the difference between a valid and sound argument. Furthermore, this video attempts to introduce syllogistic logic as formulated by Aristotle as well as the star test method for determining the validity of a syllogism.

Logic seems pretty important to me and understanding logic is probably a good thing to know. So I find it pretty odd that logic isn't taught in schools and it isn't until university that it's taught

[@PhilosophyToons]

And for me, I was pretty lucky to even get a class of it in uni personally, its rare

[@sunbunker685]

That would create a population of thinkers, not emotional, reactionary doers. Goes against the Rockefeller indoctrination system

[@McFlashh]

It’s taught to computer science students in discrete mathematics

[@Nicolas-qe1ef]

@@McFlashhyep, had it for my maths paper in my comp sci bachelor. Was very interesting to study logic in a formal and structured way. With that said, fuck proofs by induction.

Thank you max, appreciate it!

[@marellaysn]

i've read the book first before looking for a video to explain it (because even though i think i understand the book, it still sounded a bit blurry to me) then i saw this and this video explained it pretty well, i now absolutely understand the book. so, thank you! I'm still wondering who thought of calling well-formed formulas woofs, instead of wiffs.

[@PhilosophyToons]

Thank you for your comment, this made my day!

[@mulla2748]

I was waiting for you to talk about logic the rapper 😭💀

[@040_faraz9]

All these existential channels that have poped up on youtube. 😌Thanku collective unconcious of humans.

[@PhilosophyToons]

Lol, hopefully I don't give off existentialist vibes

[@soumyajitdas1647]

Why my personal beliefs(biases) always dominate the logical mind ? I mean, like I find it hard to believe that all cats are evil, which I believe it's not. And, I find it confusing and my mind goes blank. I usually, never think in this way. Does anyone feel in this way ? I find it extremely challenging to adopt this type of thinking but, I want to. It's not easy for me to think in this way, but I'm positive if I start to think in this way, things will change in my life. I haven't read the book yet, and I'll look into it. Thanks, for publishing this video.

[@visartistry]

well as he said, logic is used to validate an argument rather than test if its true. So it doesnt matter your beliefs in this, if for example felines are evil and a cat is a feline than the cat must be evil. Notice that this is a validad argument but it does start with "IF", so it might not be true but its valid

In my country, we are taught logic in highschool. However, if you wish to continue studying logic, you must go to a Philosophy college (I apologize for my bad english).

Lol wffs.

[@robertanastase558]

My dog enjoyed this video

[@sergeynemkov1554]

Bruh, this is so not what I expected, guess a lil reality check, it's so hard to imagine this being applicable in day to day life though. ...... maybe I'm just too lazy though lol

[@PhilosophyToons]

I should've had a section about converting everyday arguments you find into these syllogisms, that'd make it more useful
