LOGIC AND PHILOSOPHY
SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY FIRST YEAR COURSE
Objective:
Philosophy enquires into the meaning and significance of life and the world. It is called a second
order discipline in so far as it enquires into the foundations and presuppositions of various disciplines.
Logic is a Science which deals with forms of arguments. In an extended sense it studies the methodology
of deductive as well as inductive Science. Modern logic is a rapidly developing Science and it is closely
related to mathematics. It does not cancel the Aristotelian logic but points out its limitations. So in the
syllabus, we intend to acquaint the students with the elements of traditional logic, modern logic and scien-
tific method. The syllabus will also acquaint students with a few essential problems of Western and Indian
Philosophy.
