Socrates is mortal. Symbolic translation: Ms
Another example:
Some men are not gentlemen. Symbolic translation: (∃x) (Mx & ~Gx).
The remaining 20% dealt with propositional logic, example:
If L.A.C.C. cancels winter session, then so does Valley College. L ⊃ V
It was a challenging class and at times I felt quite discouraged by the slow pace at which I was comprehending the material. But I understood it nonetheless and on Friday I received an e-mail from my instructor, Professor Torres informing me that I earned an A!!! He also said he would be willing to provide me with a letter of recommendation which will come in handy when I begin my transfer from community college to a UC.
Another amazing thing which occurred this month is that I restarted a project which I abandoned 10 years ago which was to create and publish a comic book about a central american female vigilante who I loosely modeled after the goddess Artemis of greek mythology. I have been bouncing ideas for her story off of colleagues, classmates, friends and the like which led me to inadvertently find someone who volunteered to do the artwork!!
Amazing!!!
Lastly, now that I am on break from school I have more time to focus on the more abstract side of philosophy as opposed to the more rigorous study of logic which has consumed much of my time for the last 4 months or so. Expect a post on my interpretation of Aristophanes's speech on love from Plato's Symposium sometime in the next few days!!
Below are two of countless depictions of Artemis.
Amazing!!!!!!!
Well it's about time that the world had a Central American Female Vigilante! I can't wait to hear more about this project. Also, waiting for that post on "Aristophanes's speech on love from Plato's Symposium"...
