The course content brings together puzzles, paradoxes, and core concepts of logic to explore the limits of reasoning. Topics include classical and modern logical puzzles, strategies for solving and classifying puzzles, Zeno-type paradoxes, Russell-style logical paradoxes, self-reference problems, probability and rationality puzzles, game-theoretic reasoning examples, and their connections to formal logic. The aim is to develop both the intuitive and formal problem-solving abilities of the students.
The instructional method consists of short theoretical lectures, collaborative in-class solving sessions, small-group discussions, student presentations, and weekly problem sets. Some weeks involve hands-on “logic laboratory” activities in which students are expected to develop their own puzzles or paradox analyses.
Recommended course materials include selected chapters from the literature on logic and paradoxes, pedagogical articles, instructor-prepared lecture notes, and weekly problem files. When useful, interactive online logic tools, recorded lectures, and digital resources are also incorporated.
