PHIL 426 Advanced Logic
4.00 cr.
This course covers classical and non-classical logics. A review of propositional and predicate logic will be followed by a consideration of “non-normal” logics of strict implication, conditional logics, many-valued logics, and first degree entailment. The course will consider philosophical issues raised by these diverse logics.

Expanded Course Description
This course will study classical and non-classical logics using An Introduction to Non-Classical Logic (Second Edition) by Graham Priest and a variety of supplementary readings. The first four weeks will be an accelerated review of propositional and predicate logics using the 'tableaux' proof method and the introduction of basic modal logic. We will then consider the “non-normal” logics of strict implication, conditional logics, many-valued logics, and first degree entailment. We will conclude by considering constant and variable domain logics. Throughout the course we will also consider the philosophical issues raised by (and also motivating) these diverse logics.
