Outline for "Logical Method and the Law"

This week's essay is, I think, one of the more difficult (sorry George!). So here's a brief outline of what I intend to talk about during class tomorrow. I'll work it in and around our discussion and come back to it at the end; hold me to this if something doesn't get covered to your satisfaction.

Dewey's Dichotomy: Logic vs. "Common Sense"

1. Logic (Standard View)
  • Universals/Principals/Major Premises
  • Particulars/Facts/Minor Premises
  • Conclusion
2. Experimental Logic (Dewey's View)
  • Universals
  • Particulars
  • Conclusion
  • Inquiry
  • Judgment & Justification
3. Relevance for Teachers
  • Are teachers technicians? Judges? Experts?
