How do we know what we know?  Team taught by an English and a math teacher, the aim of the Language, Truth, and Logic course is to furnish students with a number of critical thinking skills and criteria for determining truth and validity.  Consideration will be given to both inductive and deductive logic, linguistic analysis, epistemology and how the relationship of these elements might give a clearer understanding of truth.
