1) Above we can see the allegorical representation of the cerebral hemispheres and their functions. Studies in the field of neuroscience have presented evidence on the relationship of specific areas of the brain with certain thinking activities, emotions and motor skills. Explain which side of the brain is logical reasoning usually associated with? Because?
A.
2) Area of philosophy in which reasoning or arguments are studied, logic focuses on:
I) In the relationship that is established, when we reason, between what we know or hypothesize (the starting point) and what we conclude (the arrival point).
II) While it is currently an area of philosophical investigation, it is also an important instrument in the study and practice of philosophy.
The alternative is correct:
there
b) II
c) I and II
d) Neither alternative is correct.
3) When we reason, we mentally develop a process that chooses and “manipulates” certain information seeking to obtain, as a consequence of them, other information. This process is called:
a) inference or reasoning
b) consequence
c) reason
d) conclusion
4) Explain in your words how logic can have an important impact on our daily lives?
A.
5) Define the divergences between the terms reasoning and argument?
I) Reasoning is something that human beings do most of their waking hours and generally do it without verbal accompaniment.
II) When we express our reasoning verbally forming a structured set of sentences, seeking to expose more or less the path we had taken when we thought “with ourselves”, with our interior, reasoning, we call it argument.
III) Arguments are usually formed by one or more sentences structured with the purpose of supporting, justifying or proving the truth of another sentence. Therefore, we can say that the argument is the visible part of a reasoning, that is, the part that was explained in the attempt to support a conclusion.
The alternative is correct:
a) I and II
b) I, II and III
c) I and III
d) II and III
6) Trying to build a good argument in favor of your answer, solve the following logical puzzle: It's four o'clock in the morning. Jonah is going out with his friends to go fishing. He needs to get a pair of gloves, but he can't turn on the light so he won't wake his sister. He knows that in the drawer there are two pairs of blue gloves, two pairs of beige gloves, and two pairs of gray gloves, but they're all loose. In a hurry, he puts the minimum of gloves in his backpack, confident that they will form a correct pair. How many gloves does he have?
