| PHIL 111 offers an introduction to inductive reasoning focusing on the role of probability. Students will learn how probabilities, statistics, and risk evaluations are integrated into decision making. More generally, they will develop reasoning strategies that promote drawing logical inferences when evidence leaves them unsure as to what is actually true. Application to the media's use of probabilities and statistics, and the way many academic disciplines use these strategies to analyze and present data will provide concrete contexts for applying inductive principles and reasoning strategies. |
