In this course, Dialectic students will immerse themselves in the Great Conversations of the Modern time period.

Logic

The Discovery of Deduction: An Introduction to Formal Logic will welcome your students into the fascinating realm of formal, deductive logic.

It pulls back the curtain to show students not only how arguments work, but also how to assess what’s going on in their own minds.
