The Joy Of Logic

Factual Documentaries / 1 x 60' / HD, Airline, DVD, Non-Theatric

Wingspan Productions for BBC Four

The Joy Of Logic takes viewers on a new roller-coaster ride through philosophy, maths, science and technology all of which, under the bonnet, run on logic.  Dave Cliff, a professor of computer science and engineering, embarks on a fascinating quest for certainty and the fundamentals of sound reasoning itself.  From ancient philosophy to our modern digital world, logic has given us the tools for sound argument and reasoning and enabled transformational technology. It underpins our everyday lives – mostly without our even realising it. And it raises tricky questions about what it means to be human.
