PHI 107 Ethics, Logic and Critical Inquiry

This course examines inductive and deductive arguments related to the nature of right and wrong, good and evil, the grounds of moral choice and decision, and the resolution of moral conflicts. Students will learn to recognize how inductive and deductive arguments are used in critical thinking, reconstruct the arguments from multiple perspectives, and evaluate the merits of the arguments from ethical and logical perspectives. Students will be able to recognize the ethical and logical arguments from a variety of sources such as news, politics, advertisements, and literature. Students will be able to provide informal reconstructions of these arguments in their own words. The class time is split between the classroom and online work, some in an adaptive learning environment. Laboratory course is required for Pathways students. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): PHI 107L. 5 quarter hours
