A Very Basic Introduction to Logic and Syllogistic Logic
Logic is a branch of philosophy that examines and appraises different arguments. This video attempts to introduce the very basics of logic by defining logic, examining what an argument is, and understanding the difference between a valid and sound argument. Furthermore, this video attempts to introduce syllogistic logic as formulated by Aristotle as well as the star test method for determining the validity of a syllogism.

Bro just explained something 13 min in the same time my professor took a whole semester of college to explain
Logic seems pretty important to me and understanding logic is probably a good thing to know. So I find it pretty odd that logic isn't taught in schools and it isn't until university that it's taught

That would create a population of thinkers, not emotional, reactionary doers. Goes against the Rockefeller indoctrination system

@@McFlashhyep, had it for my maths paper in my comp sci bachelor. Was very interesting to study logic in a formal and structured way. With that said, fuck proofs by induction.

You should state that if there is an axiom in which there is a: “no/not” that you then can switch it (no R is E) = (R us not E)
i've read the book first before looking for a video to explain it (because even though i think i understand the book, it still sounded a bit blurry to me) then i saw this and this video explained it pretty well, i now absolutely understand the book. so, thank you! I'm still wondering who thought of calling well-formed formulas woofs, instead of wiffs.

Lol, hopefully I don't give off existentialist vibes
In many logic textbooks in chapters about syllogism terms like subject, middle term and predicate are represented as three overlapping circles. Why the circle that represent subject isn't included in the circle, that represent predicate term when we talk about universal affirmative statements? For example , All S are P. In formal logic this statement will have this formula: (x) S x -> P x. In set theory it means, that one set is included (whole set is included) in to another set. But in logic we have another representation: All S are P is the area where S circle and P circle overlapping, and other part of S circle that is out of overlapping area is empty.
I was waiting for you to talk about logic the rapper 😭💀

Why my personal beliefs(biases) always dominate the logical mind ? I mean, like I find it hard to believe that all cats are evil, which I believe it's not. And, I find it confusing and my mind goes blank. I usually, never think in this way. Does anyone feel in this way ? I find it extremely challenging to adopt this type of thinking but, I want to. It's not easy for me to think in this way, but I'm positive if I start to think in this way, things will change in my life. I haven't read the book yet, and I'll look into it. Thanks, for publishing this video.

well as he said, logic is used to validate an argument rather than test if its true. So it doesnt matter your beliefs in this, if for example felines are evil and a cat is a feline than the cat must be evil. Notice that this is a validad argument but it does start with "IF", so it might not be true but its valid

A valid argument doesn't have to be true to be considered valid. This is what the difference between a 'valid' and a 'sound' argument. The cat example was given to show and argument can be false and yet still be valid. But its not a sound argument. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)
I am disappointed that Logic does not appear to be on the UK's (Scotland and England) national curriculum. When I was at school we badly needed Logic as part of the mental training. Alas! It was not on the menu. It should have been a compulsory subject, methinks :)
Aristotle rules ❤
In my country, we are taught logic in highschool. However, if you wish to continue studying logic, you must go to a Philosophy college (I apologize for my bad english).
Got it

I should've had a section about converting everyday arguments you find into these syllogisms, that'd make it more useful
I was wondering if you could give me a logical proof for the earth being a globe?
