Episode 9 — Starting the Basics of Logic
In this episode of The Thomistic Mind, Dr. Jason Reed begins formal instruction in logic by explaining what arguments are and why they matter. Logic is not debate, persuasion, or emotion—it is the disciplined study of reason ordered toward truth.
This lecture introduces: • What an argument is (premises and conclusion) • The difference between proof and persuasion • Why false beliefs are not the same as lies • The distinction between statements and other kinds of sentences • Why most important beliefs require reasons Logic trains us to evaluate whether our conclusions truly follow from our reasons—especially in philosophy, theology, and everyday reasoning.
