The Philosophy Team has chosen to do two lessons this semester. The first is "Logical Proofs" and the other is "Phenomenological Experience." These two lessons represent important methodologies. The first, "Logical Proofs" is one of the most difficult topics to teach in logic. The second draws attention to the notions of intention, experience and interpretation.
