    Study Notes

    Inductive and Deductive Logic

    • Deductive Logic:
      • Moves from general principles to specific conclusions.
      • Uses syllogisms, a three-part argument with two premises and a conclusion.
      • Premise 1: All men are mortal.
      • Premise 2: Socrates is a man.
      • Conclusion: Socrates is mortal.
    • Inductive Logic:
      • Moves from specific observations to general conclusions.
      • Relies on examples and observations to infer probabilities.
      • Premise 1: Luis smokes and has heart problems.
      • Premise 2: Maria Puma smokes and has cancer.
      • Premise 3: Roman Fumed and had health issues.
      • Conclusion: All smokers have health problems. (Note: This conclusion is based on limited observations and may not be universally true).
    • Validity:
      • The validity of a deductive argument depends on its structure, not the content of the premises.
      • The strength of an inductive argument depends on whether the provided examples/observations represent typical cases.

    Functions of Language and Communication Elements

    • Referential Function: Informs about reality and its related elements within the context.
    • Emotiva/Expressive Function: Expresses feelings, emotions, or moods of the speaker. The speaker is the related element.
    • Appellative/Conative Function: Aims to elicit a reaction from the receiver (e.g., commands, questions). The receiver is the related element..
    • Phatic Function: Checks if the communication channel is working correctly. The channel is the related element.
    • Poetic Function: Focuses on the aesthetic form of the message. The message is the related element.
    • Metalinguistic Function: Using language to talk about language itself (defining terms, classifying). The language code being used is the related element.

    Logic as Science & Art

    • Logic as Science:
      • Used to verify the validity of reasoning.
      • Systematizes principles and methods to separate valid from invalid statements.
      • Establishes principles and truths, giving it a scientific character.
    • Logic as Art:
      • Used to prepare for oral defenses, reaching truth through dialogue.
      • Organizing discussions and debates.
      • Building and evaluating arguments from oneself and others.
      • Accepting the consequences of one's statements.

    Concepts, Judgments, and Reasoning

    • Concepts:
      • Mental or intellectual representations of the essential characteristics of an object, without affirming or denying those characteristics.
      • Comprehension (intensity) and extension (scope) of concepts are inversely related.
    • Judgments:
      • Critical assessments or evaluations that affirm or deny something about reality.
    • Reasoning:
      • Drawing conclusions from judgments.
      • Inductive Reasoning: Starts with particular observations and moves towards a general conclusion.
      • Deductive Reasoning: Starts with a general statement and moves towards a specific conclusion.

    Notes on Language

    • Subject (pensante): Being that reflects consciously on the environment.

    • Act of thinking: Mental process - Ideas.

    • Thought: Representation of reality.

    • Object: Observed or thought of fact.

    • Expressing language: Functions.

    • Logic: Structure of thought.

    • Inquiry:

    • Language Functions:

      • Six functions: Referential, emotional, appellative, aesthetic, metalinguistic, and direct.

    • Model of Communication:

      • Emisor (Sender): Provides the message.
      • Receptor (Receiver): Receives the message.
      • Lenguaje (Language): The medium for conveying the message.
      • Código (Code): System of signs to transmit message.
      • Canal (Channel): Medium for transmission (e.g., air).
      • Medio Físico (Physical medium): The actual physical means of transmission.
      • Entidad Viva (Living Entity): The living being involved in the communication.

    Logic

    • Logic is the art of reasoning, the part of science that teaches a method to reach truth.
    • Logic is the science of the necessary laws of understanding and reason.
    • Logic is the science of the pure idea, the abstract element of thought.
    • Logic is the science that studies the correction of reasoning, both formal and informal.

    Benefits of Logic in Science and Everyday Life

    • Improved Thinking: It helps the mind think with connection, order, depth, and coherence.
    • Scientific Basis: It builds up a scientific groundwork for investigations.
    • Better Decisions: It leads to better decision-making, improving intellectual and moral capabilities.
    • Critical Thinking: It aids in the identification and generation of critical thinking.
    • Mental Sharpness: It increases mental acuity.
    • Methodological Approach: It helps to create a methodology for daily life.
    • Problem Solving: It fortifies defenses and helps solve problems, especially legal and other issues.
    • Scientific Understanding: It improves scientific comprehension.

    Notes

    • Factica (Science): Studies facts based on observation and experimentation.
    • Theorical (Science): Based on logic, or mathematics (to create hypotheses).
    • Universe creation: Theoretical natural - based on reflection or observation.
    • Factica - if it's about birth.
    • A pandemic: Socio-natural.
    • Country's pyramids: Socio-factual.
    • Illiteracy: Social theories.
