It’s a slow process, to be sure, to create a new course complete with exercise sets. But I’m giving it a go! As I spend some of my weekends on this project, please consider supporting me or keeping me accountable.
My initial plan of a modern logic course has been scrapped in favor of traditional logic. That basically means I’m throwing away around 15 video recordings. But, hey, I already have a modern logic course on YouTube.
Aristotelian-Scholastic Logic is the most grounded and practical science to learn. Studying it will help anyone increase skills in the art of reasoning. Intellectual virtues will be cultivated and extended.
In my view, it’s more important than modern mathematical logic.
Logic is something you actively do or don’t do. Aristotle referred to it as “the instrument.” We have to practice it! I’m doing my best to compile exercise sets. Recently, I made an answer key for all 71 enthymeme problems from Peter Kreeft’s famous textbook Socratic Logic. Other textbooks are being utilized. The primary textbook will be out of copyright so everyone can view it online for free.
Of course it’s up to you if you want to work through all exercises.
But I promise you this: if you do just 10% of them, you’ll be better at reasoning and logic than most people.

Other than that, I want to let you know that my latest content has mostly been appearing on X. Follow me here! Drop me a line.
I’ve been posting some outlines of math history, puzzles, logic notes, updates, and more.

On YouTube, I have a video featuring Bishop Fulton Sheen on logic, a preview of abductive logic (which is about inference to the best explanation), and Toulmin’s model of argumentation.
We’re all, hopefully, learning – and growing! I make mistakes. There’s a lot I don’t know. Feel free to point out any errors I’ve made. For example, my video on abductive logic has a big typo that I only noticed after I uploaded it.
