Symbols vs Logical Construct & Philosophy

Learn logic with Symbols, the app that teaches natural deduction and the rules of inference in an intuitive, accessible way. Our unique Studycards feature visual pictographs and interactive, step-by-step exercises that allow you to grasp each rule easily and quickly. Then, challenge yourself with activities specifically designed to practice those rules, building your skills progressively, and cementing them in your memory with every level completed. Why Symbols? Comprehensive Studycards: Learn essential rules like Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, Disjunctive Syllogism, and many more through clear explanations and examples. Perfect for students and anyone looking to understand formal logic. Engaging Activities for Skill Mastery: Validity: Sharpen your critical thinking by evaluating pre-solved arguments. This unique activity provides the benefits of repetition without the tedium, helping you apply, recognize, and grow familiar with the rules of inference. Justification: Challenge your understanding with puzzle-like scenarios where you deduce missing argument steps. This deepens your comprehension and refines your application of logical rules within complex arguments. Inference: By this stage, the training wheels are off, and the student has to draw on everything they've learned so far. Their task is to mentally build a valid argument from what’s provided—or to recognize that no valid argument can be formed. What would normally be worked out slowly on paper is now done at the speed of thought. Translation: Translation helps students practice turning statements with indicator words and phrases into logical form. These indicator words, commonly found in logic books and courses, give students a sense of how to translate everyday language into formal logic. Translation breaks this process into levels, allowing students to track their progress and earn new scores as they build proficiency. Download Symbols for free and begin your journey into formal logic. Your free access includes the first level of every activity and the Modus Ponens study card, a must-have for getting started. For more advanced content and features, simply use our in-app purchases to continue building your logic skills. Start your journey of mastering the rules of inference now!

Logical Construct is an educational puzzle app that makes formal logic genuinely playable. Instead of passively reading about reasoning, you actively construct valid proofs by applying the same inference rules used by logicians, mathematicians, and philosophers: Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, Hypothetical Syllogism, Reductio ad Absurdum, and more. Each puzzle gives you a few premises and a target conclusion. Your job is to build a chain of deductions, one rule at a time, until you reach the conclusion. By doing the proofs yourself, not just reading about them, abstract logical concepts become concrete, intuitive skills. You'll progress through propositional logic, work with modal operators of necessity (□) and possibility (◇), and tackle advanced techniques like Conditional Proof and Reductio ad Absurdum. Classic philosophical arguments (the Paradox of Omnipotence, the Problem of Evil, Anselm's Ontological Argument, and Plantinga's modal version of it) become living frameworks for applying these principles. Reasoning that shaped two millennia of philosophy, now something you can practise on your phone. WHAT'S INSIDE • 20 levels, 60 puzzles, from your first Modus Ponens to S5 modal logic • 24 inference rules organised into six categories: conditional, conjunction, disjunction, negation, biconditional, and modal • Step-by-step solution viewer that reveals the proof one move at a time: it shows you the path, it doesn't solve it for you • Truth tables for every propositional rule, with the row where all premises are true highlighted so you can see why the rule is valid • Live formula highlighting that shows which lines a rule will use • Subproofs with Fitch-style indentation: the natural way to learn Conditional Proof and Reductio ad Absurdum • First-launch tutorial that walks you through your very first deduction, plus dedicated intros for subproofs and modal logic • Atom legend on every puzzle: tap to see what each symbol stands for and read the puzzle as a story in plain language • Neumorphic design with colour-coded rule categories • Progress tracking with automatic level unlocking WHO IT'S FOR Students strengthening their formal reasoning, philosophy enthusiasts curious about how arguments actually work, or anyone who enjoys a good puzzle that makes you think clearly. - Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/logicalconstructapp/accueil - Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
