1. The Presentation of the Materials A The Text Any philosophical subject to be introduced for public consumption, the BASICS
of philosophy have to serve as its Introduction to refresh the minds of the learners delving into a higher level of philosophizing.
The basics are provided by its definitions that are derived from its Derivative meaning/source and its Scientific one. The first
category, which is also known as its classical definition, was derived from two Greek words PHYLUS which meant LOVE OF
and SOPHIA which meant WISDOM, thus PHILOSOPHIA meant THE LOVE OF WISDOM. When Thales. initiated the trend
of deviating from the usual literary works of the Greek intellectuals writing on goods and goddesses, he was ignorant of the term
PHILOSOPHIA because the term was coined by Pythagoras many years later. The second category is the scientific treatment of
philosophizing defining philosophy as the SCIENCE OR STUDY OF ALL THINGS AS TO THEIR FIRST CAUSES BY THE
AID OF HUMAN REASON ALONE. This definition is not contrary to the classical or the derivative one; but treating
philosophy in the light of the evolution of the mind adapting to the signs of the time. Today, one can have as many definitions as
there are writers treating the subject. *

Realizing the complexities of teaching Symbolic Logic in doing it on the Online manner, the Administration has given the
privilege this subject to conduct in the Face-to-Face basis. From the start of the pandemic up to today, we did it Online and the
experience was not favorable to students while it was awkward for me as the Teacher. Remember, that here we will be dealing
with SYMBOLS, so the technicalities are difficult to communicate to students. It is good that the management realized that this
course really needs board work presentations.
A. The Text The study of Logic is divided into two types. The first, being taught to all courses, is the Classical Logic, also known
as the Aristotelian Logic. Tnis is a general kind
of treating Logic as the ART AND SCIENCE OF CORRECT THINKING AND RIGHT REASONING. The second type, which
is 1 Special Logic is called the TRUTH-FUNCTIONAL LOGIC, also known as the SYMBOLIC LOGIC. The latter term is used
as the Descriptive Title of the subject in Philosophy Course Curriculum. This is not offered in non-philosophy courses. Here are
the mechanics in teaching this subject: First is the Structure= every Truth-Functional proposition has two major components. The
first structure which is a proposition is the first COMPONENT symbolized by P: while the second structure is the second
COMPONENT symbolized by I between these two components is a connective Q. making them as just one but compound
proposition. These connectives are: the CONJUNCTIVES symbolized by a dot (.); the DISJUNCTIVES symbolized by a wedge
or small v (v): the CONDITIONALS, symbolized by a colon (:): and the BICONDITIONALS symbolized by a double colon (=).
Why TRUTH-FUNCTIONAL? The answer is: In the analysis of every compound proposition, we verify whether it is True or
False and this is also true to the second component. The Truth Value of these two components will determine the Truth Value of
the newly build compound proposition. The truth value of the compound proposition varies depending on what connectives are
used. These are judged using the TRUTH TABLE

The Presentation of the materials are also utilized in Symbolic Logic, although the difference in Symbolic Logic, these materials
are is
A. The Text. We had known that the materials of the Classical Logic converted into Symbols. For instance, the propositions in
Classical Logic are also utilized in symbolic Logic, although there are added new features to make this subject different.
Propositions of the classical Logic are made into compound and each component and their connectives are symbolized. There are
three areas or levels of knowing, learning, and solving/applying Symbolic Logic also known as the Truth-functional Logic. The
First is: LANGUAGE IS GIVEN SYMBOLIC EQUIVELENTS. In the compound propositions, Key Words Terms are identified
assigning their first letters as symbolizing the entire components, then in between the connectives are symbolized. There are
Rules to follow in symbolizing them. Rule 1: if there are only 2 Givens, avoid enclosing them in parenthesis. Example: Manila is
in Luzon, while Panay is in the Visayas. The Key Terms are= Manila for the first component symbolized by M and Panay for the
second component symbolized by P and the connective WHILE is symbolized by a Period (-). the new set up in symbolic
equivalent would be: M. P. Rule 2: if there three/3 Givens, enclose in parenthesis the First 2 write the connective and write the
3rd term, or enclose the last 2 making the first term outside. For example: a. Mario and Laura then John are friends ( M,L.J) -
( M.L); J. b. Either or Mario and John are friends )M.L.J) - Mv(L.J). RULE 3: If there are 4 Givens, Pair them in parentheses
having three connectives involved. Example: If Mario and Laura are friends then neither Roland nor John are friends( M.L.R.J) =
(M.L)- (RvJ). -A MEDELIAN TEXT. B. Title: C. Topic: D. Goat
