In this class we will learn why and how to construct logical arguments. We will learn the difference between statements and sentences as well as what makes an argument valid vs invalid. We will also learn what makes an argument sound vs unsound. I will teach using slides but will also seek active participation from students. Nothing is required to attend this class. No prior knowledge is needed. I hope to have an active discussion throughout class with the students. I want students to be able to construct their own formal arguments at the end of this class.

Hello! My name is Nathan and I teach critical thinking, logic, and philosophy. 🤔🤔💡💡
My available hours are 8AM-8PM (ET)! Feel free to pick a time that works for you!
I am very interested in teaching rudimentary logic to kids or teens. I think that learning philosophy and logic can prepare us to become sharp and precise thinkers and problem solvers moving forward. Unlike other topics like biology, trigonometry, or English, philosophy is more general and can be applied to all other topics. This is because philosophy teaches the fundamental principles of logical and rational thinking. Learning philosophy can help you in all other disciplines!
For fun, I like to go camping, hiking, bike-riding, and I like to cook. I have a 4 year-old Parson Russel Terrier named Lady, who I take on many walks. I also spend a lot of time reading and surfing the web.
