  1. Kennett’s Clarification Socrates & Syllogisms

  2. Today’s Objectives • Wrap up with our group presentations by learning about Friedrich Nietzsche from Tom, Kayla, Levi • Gain more clarity on Socrates, syllogisms, inductive/deductive reasoning

  3. Part 1: Nietzsche • Tom, Kayla, Levi

  4. Hook Question • What things do you know for sure? • ie. Are you really in this room right now? How do you know you’re not in a dream? • How do you know what you know?

  5. Part 2: Socrates • Socrates believed that all real knowledge involves defining • You learn about a subject through deduction – moving from very general observations to more specific knowledge about a subject • You move to more specific knowledge through the use of syllogisms

  6. Socrates’ Trial: Why? • One of the most famous trials of all time • Charged for: • Corrupting the youth • Shared idea such as “I is not the majority opinion that yields correct policy, but rather genuine knowledge and professional competence which is possessed by only a few” • Impiety • Failing to acknowledge the gods that the city acknowledges • Introducing new deities (often referred to his spirit, but was really referring to his intuition)

  7. Socrates’ Death • Sentenced to death by drinking a hemlock-based liquid

  8. What were Socrates’ syllogisms?

  9. What is an argument • An argument is NOT: • A question (Are the snow tubers having fun?) • A proposal (Let’s go snow tubing!) • A suggestion (We recommend that students snow tube every day) • A command (Don’t forget to snow tube!) • An exclamation (Snow tubing’s crazy!) • An argument IS: • A group of associated statements of belief or opinion

  10. Logical Syllogisms • Major premise: All men (A) are mortal (B). • Minor premise: All Greeks (C) are men (A). • Conclusion: All Greeks (C) are mortal (B).

  11. Syllogistic Fallacies • Major premise: Some cats (A) are black things (B) • Minor premise: Some black things (B) are televisions (C) • Conclusion: Some cats (A) are televisions (C)

  12. Syllogistic Thinking & Descartes • Thought of as the father of modern philosophy • his denial of the thesis that all knowledge must come from sensation. • Ultimately, explored metaphysics – the ultimate structure of reality • “I think, therefore I am” • Let’s learn about the origins of this phrase…

  13. Practicing Logical Thinking: A Game • One person writes a 3-4 digit number • Another person guesses • For each guess, the number creator gives them a hint… • Pico Fermi Bagels • Fermi: a correct digit placed correctly • Pico: a correct digit placed incorrectly • Bagels: no digits are correct
