Is studying propositional logic useful for reading/analyzing/critiquing philosophy? Should I study first-order logic instead?

You should learn a trade, marry a white woman, breed white children, and honor your father land.

It would be autistic to do those things out of context. You should marry and reproduce if love commands you. You should learn a trade, sure, but writing is a trade too. Honoring your fatherland is very much a problem for me being an American and I think the last great American was Thoreau. I don't see this as my fatherland at all. I've done all the other things btw but probably not for some abstract notion of race like you suggest. My skin color may be the same as other white people but we aren't like genetic kin.

Modern anayltic philosophy papers often assume a very basic knowledge of propositional and quantificational logic, even if it's just the symbols and common valid argument schemata. Learning trees and derivations is probably useless apart from further understanding or if you plan on looking further into logic or maybe phil of language.
