In informal logic and philosophy, an argument map or argument diagram is a visual representation of the structure of an argument. An argument map typically includes the key components of the argument, traditionally called the conclusion and the , also called contention and . Argument maps can also show co-premises, objections, counterarguments, rebuttals, and lemmas.

Alexander Kremling has compiled a vast argument map of Descartes Meditations, which he presented at the 9th conference of the German Association of Analytic Philosophy.

Can we use argument mapping techniques to enhance empirical discourse analysis? In a recent talk at KIT's Science - Media - Communicaton Lab, I presented our experience in merging argumentation-theoretic and empirical discourse analysis so far.

How can argument maps be used for debate moderation? In this post three short "live reconstruction" case studies from 2007, 2011 and 2014 are presented. These cases show that the challenges of the approach are not so much of a technical but of a methodological nature. Even if the technology works perfectly it is difficult to get the conditions right so that the "live reconstruction" is more than just a nice gimmick.

A live reconstruction at the future conference of the German green party.

It's not obvious how to present an argument map that consists in dozens of arguments. That's because, in a talk, you want to comment both on the macro structure of the debate, providing an initial overview, as well as on individual arguments featured in the map.

Do you ponder using argumentation software such as Argunet, but have not taken a course in argumentation theory or logic yet? Or do you just want to refresh you argument analysis skills? There's plenty of learning material on the web that helps you to improve you critical thinking skills. This post features and comments on three free online courses.

Linked, convergent and serial argumentation are basic notions of argument structure in Critical Thinking and Informal Logic. This post describes how these argument patterns translate into Argunet argument maps.

In a nutshell, my favourite is Bowell/Kemp [1], closely followed by Lau [5].

Since October 2012, Ralf Grötker from Debattenprofis has been conducting a media experiment involving argument maps and swarm intelligence. In the so-called Faktencheck (Factcheck) series, Grötker sets up and moderates online forums on controversial issues (e.g., "boycott of textiles - helpful or not?"). Debattenprofis use argument maps to aggregate the discussions. In a recent article Grötker sums up his experience so far.

It's been a while since our last update to our site or software. So let's do both at once. Let me introduce you first to our new site and then to the new version of Argunet Editor.

Relaunch

We decided to simplify things: one page for the editor, one for our upcoming browser widget and one for our new blog. This will make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. And it will make it easier for us to maintain the site. Did I say "new blog"?

Yes, a brand-new blog!

While we were busy deploying Argunet in exciting new projects and trying out unreleased cool features, this site lay dormant for years. With this new blog we want to change that. Next week we will begin to post regularly about everything related to Argunet, argument maps and argumentation theory in general. So watch out for new posts!

Need tools to help your students gain these skills?

Help your students develop critical thinking and writing skills, competencies essential for their study and future. Critical thinking is chosen as one of the 21st Century Skills.

We would like to introduce Rationale®, a program to structure thinking and writing skills. Rationale® is an educational program designed to guide students from basic brainstorming tasks toward evaluated reasoning and clear well-structured essays.

By making argument maps, you visually display and scaffold the thinking process. Argument maps allow teachers to monitor and assess students' thinking processes.

Rationale's argument mapping method is an intuitive format, designed to build critical thinking and writing skills in all subject areas. It acts as a pedagogical support for the development of critical thinking skills founded through five years of university research.

Rationale® is easy and fun to use.
Free teacher resources and educational materials are available.
