Logic: An Enhanced Introduction
This series aims to give an overall introduction to logic that can be applicable to anyone in any walk of life. For those who want to use logic formally, it will lay a foundation and for those who don't, it will cover most everything they need to grasp the use of logic and its function.
This series moves through 4 stages.
Stage 1 establishes the nature of logic,
Stage 2 explains the basic form of logic structure and argument,
Stage 3 makes a number of distinctions between logical concepts, and
Stage 4 moves our study onto more nuanced and complex aspects of logic.
By the end of this series you should have basic understanding of logic and should be ready to start developing your understanding of it as it applies to your life, whilst being guarded against many misunderstandings that can otherwise muddy our understanding of logic and taint our relationship to this pillar of the mind.
