Extractions: Correlates of War International relations, particularly regarding war, are issues that for centuries have fascinated and baffled mankind. We may not be able to answer all of our questions, but due to a new computer program we are able to estimate a war's outcome based on a reasonable statistical guess. This computer program is called the Correlates of War. Our group finds the Correlates of War to be one of the most fascinating modern day applications of mathematics. Mathematics of da Vinci's Designs Without a knowledge of gear ratios and other various mathematical functions many of da Vinci's designs would have been impossible to successfully create.

http://www.kcmetro.cc.mo.us/longview/ctac/corenotes.htm

Extractions: Curriculum Project Contributed by: Lauren Miller and Michael Connelly, Longview Community College If we take Logic to be the activity of drawing inferences (conclusions) from a body of information, then no doubt humans have been using logic for as long as they have been thinking, or at least consciously thinking. The first Neanderthal to formulate the thought "All members of the Cave-Bear clan are our enemies" along with "Thag is a member of the Cave-Bear clan" very likely put the 2 and the 2 together and reached the conclusion "Thag is our enemy". Nor is there any particular reason to suppose that the logic of these primitives was primitive logic that is, they probably drew logically correct conclusions from their data about as often as folks do nowadays (i.e. maybe 62.3% of the time). (Besides, chances are that natural selection quickly weeded out the Neanderthals who tended to draw the conclusion "Thag is our friend" from the above data!) On the other hand, if we take Logic to be the analysis of concepts involved in making inferences, and the identification of standards and patterns of correct inference, Logic can be traced only back to the days of Aristotle (350 years B.C. or so), with some parallel development in early Hindu writings. It's not clear that this increase in logical self-consciousness improved the accuracy of reasoning processes for humankind in general, but knowing what Aristotle knew about logic can definitely help you be a better reasoner.

Extractions: Course schedule The instructor for this course is Robert Redmon, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Virginia Commonwealth University. He has taught at VCU since 1975. Before that he taught philosophy at the College of William and Mary, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Monmouth College. His only serious emotional problem is an obsessive attempt to keep a 1979 Triumph Spitfire running. Critical Thinking is a course designed to improve your ability to reason. It deals with deductive and inductive reasoning and with methods to help you avoid common reasoning pitfalls or fallacies of reasoning. The course is divided into four topics: (1) a description of the nature of arguments (2) deductive reasoning (3) inductive reasoning (4) the informal fallacies.

Extractions: 443 Heavilon Hall, 494-3784. In order to be a great writer, a person must have a built in, shockproof crap detector. This quote from Ernest Hemingway is probably true. However we must add that to be a liked and respected person, one must do more than merely be able to pick apart other peoples arguments. This course will not only identify much of the bad reasoning that bamboozles our world, but by presenting more positive examples of logic, it will also try in its modest little way to work toward creating a better, more reasonable world. This is a course about arguments: how they are constructed well; what goes wrong when they are constructed poorly. In addition, the course will familiarize the student with traditional styles of reasoning, and suggest ways that these traditions can be used in the contemporary, practical world. This class will be of benefit for all who desire to articulate well their points of view, and understand the points of view of those with whom conflicts occasionally arise.

Course description: Philosophy isn't something you study, it's something you do , like running or riding a bike. I think philosophy is best thought of as a certain methodology or approach to problems. Philosophers are obsessed with having good reasons for their beliefs and being able to back them up with careful argument. In this course, we will be introduced to that part of philosophy concerned with morality and moral reasoning. We will study different approaches to making ethical decisions, evaluate the arguments for them, and investigate fundamental questions about the nature of moral values and the possibility and desirability of living by them. Course objectives: to understand a variety of ethical theories and assess their strengths and weaknesses to develop proficiency in the skills and techniques of philosophy to be able to articulate, critically examine, and support your own moral perspective

Extractions: Course Description An attorney of my acquaintance once remarked that "we spend $100,000 to go to law school for three years to try to learn the meaning of the word 'reasonable' Indeed, what does it mean to reason well, i.e., what must we do to arrive at sound conclusions enabling us to make correct (or "best") decisions? In this course, we will learn the basic principles and acquire the intellectual tools that will leave us much better equipped to deal effectively with the endless onslaught of information we will have to evaluate throughout our lives. We will examine the sometimes sly techniques that partisans of every stripe employ to persuade us to their viewpoints. We will learn how to strip away the rhetorical clutter that often obscures the underlying intent and logic of arguments. We will examine the ways in which numerical data "statistics" are frequently misused or misinterpreted by those advocating one position or another on social, political, economic, or legal issues. In short we will learn how to think, write, and speak more clearly in defense of our positions and decisions regarding important issues, and we will learn how to fully and honestly evaluate the claims of others. Our goals are to become honest and thoughtful communicators and skillful decisionmakers. They are most important goals.

http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/EPS/PES-Yearbook/96_docs/endres.html

Extractions: Before explaining Habermas's theory, it is helpful to place his work in the context of recent social and ethical theories directed at problematizing the Enlightenment. Many philosophers have provided powerful critiques of the way that the Enlightenment's appeal to universal truth and reason in the name of freedom can lead to exclusion and oppression. These writers see themselves bringing to light the false pretensions of traditional conceptions of Truth and Reason. While Habermas acknowledges some of the oppressive tendencies in the Enlightenment tradition that postmodernists address, and rejects transcendental and idealistic accounts of reason, he wants to preserve a conception of reason that will enable the evaluation of social norms. He wants to provide some criteria for the arbitration of moral issues in order to avoid the extreme relativism that a complete renunciation of reason and truth might produce. Yet in order to avoid the pitfalls of traditional theories, Habermas's criteria for reasoning about normative issues must be grounded in historically defined human activity rather than ideal, transcendental systems of rules. Habermas attempts to provide criteria for ethical decisions that are grounded in contextually-defined human interaction through his argument for "discourse ethics." Discourse ethics consists essentially of a single abstract principle which underlies the pragmatic requirements of any argument. This central tenet of discourse ethics is that in order for any norm to be considered valid, it must meet the condition that: "all affected can accept the consequences and side effects its

Jean Baudrillard
An article by Andreas Ehrencrona arguing that the foundation of Baudrillard's philosophy is the criticism of traditional, critical scientific thinking, replacing reality with the illusion of truth. The illusion is the immediate experience one has through the five senses, a subjective experience tainted by feelings and without rationalizations.

Extractions: Non-Critical Thinking "The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates Critical thinking is much more than learning how to wield the tools of logic. It is much more than crushing your opponent. It is much more than defending your views. In fact, if you limit your critical thinking to those things, then you aren't a critical thinker at all. We exist in a world of quick communication. Those who wish to persuade us must compete with all the others for our attention. Ours is a world of 30 second sound bites, snappy commercials, and countless slogans. Many of us have no idea just how difficult it can be to arrive at proper conclusions. The persuaders want us to think that it's easy - all we need to do is feel good about the message. If we feel good about the message, then the message must be true, right? Wrong.
