Good Night, Modus Ponens


Post-Logic Selfie
I've taught Logic at Monroe County Community College for seventeen years. I've decided not to teach it anymore. Next fall I'll teach one class - Philosophy of Religion. That is my great love. Understanding logic undergirds everything in it.

I am thankful to Bill McCloskey and John Holladay for inviting me to teach logic. Seventeen years of doing this has, hopefully, strengthened my logic chops.

Tonight was my last teaching class. Next Tuesday I'll give the last exam.

So...

Good night, modus tollens

Good night, equivocation

Good night, soundness
Good night, validity

Good night, induction

Good night, negating the consequent
