Logic is about inference, which is a complex mental operation. Inference presupposes a simpler, more fundamental act--judgment. Judgment is still a complex mental that also presupposes a simpler, more fundamental act--simple apprehension or conception. Simple apprehension or conception generates the concept, which is verbally expressed as a term. From this, it should be clear that if we wish to thoroughly understand inference, we shall have to study more carefully the simpler mental operations and the products they involve.
The second unit of our study is the Logic of Judgments. It has three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. The Basic level provides you with the nonnegotiable, essential knowledge about the logic of judgments. Accomplishing this level opens up two possibilities: one possibility is that of moving on to the next part of the study, which is the Logic of Arguments; another possibility is that of moving on to the Intermediate level. The Intermediate level contributes to the necessary knowledge to pass the course. Accomplishing this level opens up two possibilities: one possibility is that of moving on to the next part of the study, which is the Logic of Arguments. another possibility is that of moving on to the Advanced level. The Advanced level provides you with knowledge that is not necessary for passing the course on Logic, but is necessary to become a good student of Philosophy.
Just to give you an idea how little or how much knowledge you have about this unit, we shall have a diagnostic test before the Basic Lessons start. As it is a diagnostic test, you can only take it once. Its results will reveal what you need to strengthen because its a weakness and what to maintain because its already a strength during the lesson proper.
