AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION. General Discussion Digest: New Logic Textbook - Logic as a Liberal Art.

 

Oct 28, 2020 3:30 PM Jacob Andrews

Has anyone looked at or used R.E. Houser's Logic as a Liberal Art: An Introduction to Rhetoric and Reasoning, which came out this year? It covers syllogistic and propositional logic from a traditional Aristotelian, natural language point of view. I've been using this book to teach high schoolers who already have a few years of modern, truth-functional formal logic and they seem to enjoy the different perspective. And I've never taught this kind of logic before so it's been a learning experience for me, too. Has anyone else used this book or taken a look at it? ------------------------------ Jacob Joseph Andrews Upper School Latin Teacher and IT Administrator – Covenant Classical School PhD Candidate, Philosophy – Loyola University Chicago https://jacobjandrews.wordpress.com/  Reply to Group Online   View Thread   Recommend   Forward   Flag as Inappropriate

President Trump had more than $270 million in debt forgiven after not repaying lenders, the NYT reports

According to The New York Times, President Trump's income tax records showed he owed hundreds of millions of dollars to banks and hedge funds used to finance the construction of a luxury skyscraper in Chicago. After failing to repay the loans, his lenders have forgiven about $270 million in debt since 2010.

Donald Trump got about $270 million in debt forgiven — and largely avoided taxes on it — when his Chicago tower proved a disappointment, records show. Read the latest in our investigation into Trump's taxes:

When his skyscraper proved a disappointment, Donald Trump defaulted on his loans, sued his bank, got much of the debt forgiven — and largely avoided paying taxes on it.
