PHILOSOPHY.

Professor Lefevre.

1. Deductive Logic.—After an introductory discussion of the standpoint,
problems, and methods of Logic, and a brief survey of the
historical development of the science, the class will be engaged with
a detailed study of Deduction or the Logic of Proof. Special attention
will be directed to the analysis of logical arguments and to
the detection of fallacies in deductive reasoning.

Text-Book.—Creighton's Introductory Logic.

Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Lefevre. Rotunda, Room 1.

2. Inductive Logic.—This course will be devoted to a study of
Inductive Methods of reasoning, and will be concerned with such
topics as: Enumeration and statistical methods; determination of
causal relations; analogy; formation and use of hypotheses; and the
fallacies of inductive reasoning.

Text-Book.—Creighton's Introductory Logic.

Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Lefevre. Rotunda, Room 1.

Note.—Only one of the above courses will be given in the summer
session of 1910.

3. Philosophy.—This course is designed as an introduction to the
study of Philosophy to meet the needs of students who desire to
learn the historical development of the problems and systems of
modern philosophy. The lectures will follow the narrative of philosophical
speculation from the Renaissance to the present time. The
endeavor will be made to represent the various theories in their relation
to the science and general civilization of the ages to which they
belong, and to estimate their social, political and educational significance.

of Modern Philosophy. Collateral reading to be assigned.

Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Lefevre. Rotunda, Room 1.
