The module aims to teach students skills in using symbolisms and in analyzing sentences, reasoning and arguments. The final objective is to be able to assess the validity of reasoning and arguments; exercises are therefore essential. |

The course comprises an introduction to formal logic and to the theory of argumentation. In formal logic we study the following issues:- When is an argument valid?
- What is a proof?
- What is a counterexample?
The theory of argumentation focuses on the following topics which are illustrated by way of actual public debates:- Are there different types of conflicts of opinions?
- What is it to engage in a critical discussion?
- Can a discussant be committed to something she did not say?
- What are fallacies and what is wrong with them?
