Learning outcomes

After completing the course students are able to identify the extensions and the alternatives of classical logic. Particularly, they recognize modal notions and are capable of analyzing them by means of the notion of a possible world. They can formulate epistemological and metaphysical questions related to logic and evaluate answers given to those questions. They recognize the role of logic in philosophical views on theoretical rationality, i.e., the rationality of thought, and on practical rationality, i.e. the rationality of action.

Contents

The study module familiarizes the students with modal logic and the philosophical problems of classical logic and its alternatives. Views on the rationality of thought and action and their relations to various logics and discussed and evaluated in the study module.
