Philosophical Analysis Using Argument Maps - Einzelansicht

This seminar is designed to help you improve your argument analysis skills, in order to write and reason more clearly. 

Aim: To this end, all students will work through a seperate online course titled ›How We Argue‹. This consitutes a boot camp for arguments, and entails working through many practice exercises training their logic muscles, problem solving, decision making and critical thinking. 

How: The aim is to improve your understanding of claims and visually reconstructing reasons for them. This involves learning to determine and name the specific nature of the relationship between a thesis, premises, reasons and co-premises for and against it. Over the term, students undergo a Harvard-developed online course that teaches them how to map arguments. In our zoom class we will talk about exemplary cases, and apply lessons learned to classical philosophical problems and texts.

— The course is limited to 10 participants —
