“I have a reader with a site on traditional logic, which I think you’ll agree is something that people in our day and age could stand to learn. It’s AmateurLogician.com.”
I thank him for his very kind mention!
In the meantime, I’ve posted some videos reviewing logic books.
There are several benefits of having a journal. That goes without saying. It allows for reflection. You gather your thoughts in a semi-organized way. This can produce a springboard to take your observations and experiences, help you find good and bad patters in them through reflection, and then be a means to produce better wanted results.
For example, if I want to write well, I can write about writing. It would force me to think about writing and how I personally do that activity. Don’t psychologists tell you to talk about your problems? They want you to confront them! Talking about them to someone (or yourself) helps to clarify what they are. It helps you find solutions. Instead of a jumbled up mess of emotions and thoughts, you can organize them. You can set goals and parameters. You can reflect on success and failure.
So that’s what, in small part, I will do here in this journal. I will write about writing. I’ll talk about my own writing, in a personal way, and other times about writing in the abstract.
Yes, I’ll give updates about Amateur Logician content. And, yes, I’ll add information on the trivium, quadrivium, etc. Maybe I’ll sometimes talk about the news. Someone could make a living just pointing out the logical fallacies that media pundits and politicians engage in! Doing that too much, though, would become stale. There’s more to life than politics.
In any case. . .
One of the best ways to intellectually and morally grow is through writing.
It’s customary to launch a blog with “Hello, World!”
Hello, I’m George, the Amateur Logician. (See the about page.)
It’s my sincere hope that AmateurLogician.com is intellectually stimulating and enjoyable.
Feel free to contact me to say, “hello.” If you have suggestions, requests, or find errors let me know.
Genuine philosophy is a spiritual quest for truth, goodness, and beauty.
Sister Miriam Joseph’s Classic Text
A desire to know must be grounded in good logic.
From there, the sky is the limit. Please join me in this quest!
Presently, allow me to point out my extensive tutorial on “Trivium Logic.” I may add to it in the future.
The “Propositional Logic” tutorial is in its earlier stages. It’s a work-in-progress, though it already contains the basics.
Subscribe to the Amateur Logician Newsletter here.
We can eventually form some kind of online community.
Also, consider following me on TikTok here and YouTube here. At present there’s some logic and philosophy on my TikTok. The YouTube channel is starting off with some mathematics (basic and advanced), but soon there will be an extensive series on basic propositional and predicate logic.
Here’s the major Amateur Logician website content as of November, 2023:
