The article describes a restructured introductory logic course at Villanova that emphasizes historical survey and philosophical reflection instead of technical skills. By integrating Western and Indian traditions, particularly focusing on the Nyāya school of logic, the course begins with foundational concepts from Graham Priest's work. It then engages with historical texts starting from Aristotle, through the scholastic period, examining the evolution of logic over centuries. The objective is to provide depth and context to the understanding of logic as a significant philosophical discipline.
The aim is not to teach logic as a skill, but rather to present it as a subject for historical analysis through various traditions.
By incorporating various traditions, the course aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of logic beyond just the mainstream Western perspective.
