The Art of Reasoning a La Carte David Kelley

Visual representation of the structure of an argument

A schematic argument map showing a contention (or conclusion), supporting arguments and objections, and an inference objection.

An statement map or argument diagram is a visual representation of the structure of an statement. An argument map typically includes the key components of the statement, traditionally called the conclusion and the premises, also called contention and reasons.[1] Statement maps can also show co-bounds, objections, counterarguments, rebuttals, and lemmas. There are dissimilar styles of argument map but they are ofttimes functionally equivalent and correspond an statement's individual claims and the relationships between them.

Argument maps are ordinarily used in the context of teaching and applying critical thinking.[2] The purpose of mapping is to uncover the logical structure of arguments, place unstated assumptions, evaluate the back up an argument offers for a conclusion, and aid understanding of debates. Argument maps are oftentimes designed to support deliberation of issues, ideas and arguments in wicked problems.[3]

An argument map is not to be confused with a concept map or a mind map, ii other kinds of node–link diagram which accept dissimilar constraints on nodes and links.[four]

Primal features [edit]

A number of unlike kinds of argument maps have been proposed but the most mutual, which Chris Reed and Glenn Rowe called the standard diagram,[5] consists of a tree structure with each of the reasons leading to the decision. In that location is no consensus as to whether the conclusion should be at the top of the tree with the reasons leading up to it or whether it should be at the bottom with the reasons leading down to it.[5] Some other variation diagrams an argument from left to right.[6]

According to Douglas North. Walton and colleagues, an argument map has ii basic components: "One component is a prepare of circled numbers arrayed as points. Each number represents a proposition (premise or conclusion) in the statement being diagrammed. The other component is a set of lines or arrows joining the points. Each line (pointer) represents an inference. The whole network of points and lines represents a kind of overview of the reasoning in the given argument..."[seven] With the introduction of software for producing argument maps, it has get common for argument maps to consist of boxes containing the actual propositions rather than numbers referencing those propositions.

There is disagreement on the terminology to be used when describing statement maps,[eight] but the standard diagram contains the post-obit structures:

Dependent premises or co-premises, where at least one of the joined premises requires another premise before it can requite support to the conclusion: An argument with this structure has been called a linked argument.[9]

Statements one and 2 are dependent bounds or co-premises

Contained premises, where the premise can support the decision on its own: Although contained bounds may jointly make the conclusion more than disarming, this is to exist distinguished from situations where a premise gives no support unless information technology is joined to some other premise. Where several premises or groups of premises lead to a final decision the statement might be described every bit convergent. This is distinguished from a divergent argument where a single premise might be used to support two separate conclusions.[10]

Statements 2, 3, four are independent premises

Intermediate conclusions or sub-conclusions, where a claim is supported by another merits that is used in turn to support some further merits, i.e. the final determination or some other intermediate decision: In the post-obit diagram, statement four is an intermediate decision in that information technology is a conclusion in relation to argument 5 merely is a premise in relation to the final decision, i.e. statement ane. An argument with this structure is sometimes called a circuitous argument. If there is a single chain of claims containing at least one intermediate conclusion, the argument is sometimes described equally a serial argument or a chain argument.[11]

Statement four is an intermediate conclusion or sub-conclusion

Each of these structures tin be represented by the equivalent "box and line" approach to statement maps. In the following diagram, the contention is shown at the top, and the boxes linked to information technology represent supporting reasons, which comprise one or more premises. The greenish arrow indicates that the two reasons back up the contention:

Argument maps can also represent counterarguments. In the following diagram, the two objections weaken the contention, while the reasons support the premise of the objection:

Representing an argument as an argument map [edit]

Diagramming written text [edit]

A written text tin be transformed into an argument map by following a sequence of steps. Monroe Beardsley'south 1950 book Practical Logic recommended the post-obit procedure:[12]

  1. Carve up statements by brackets and number them.
  2. Put circles effectually the logical indicators.
  3. Supply, in parenthesis, whatever logical indicators that are left out.
  4. Prepare out the statements in a diagram in which arrows prove the relationships between statements.

A diagram of the example from Beardsley'due south Practical Logic

Beardsley gave the starting time example of a text being analysed in this way:

Though ① [people who talk about the "social significance" of the arts don't similar to admit it], ② [music and painting are bound to endure when they are turned into mere vehicles for propaganda]. For ③ [propaganda appeals to the crudest and nearly vulgar feelings]: (for) ④ [look at the academic monstrosities produced by the official Nazi painters]. What is more important, ⑤ [art must be an stop in itself for the creative person], because ⑥ [the creative person can do the best work just in an temper of consummate freedom].

Beardsley said that the conclusion in this instance is statement ②. Statement ④ needs to be rewritten as a declarative judgement, e.grand. "Bookish monstrosities [were] produced by the official Nazi painters." Statement ① points out that the decision isn't accustomed by everyone, but statement ① is omitted from the diagram considering it doesn't support the conclusion. Beardsley said that the logical relation betwixt statement ③ and statement ④ is unclear, but he proposed to diagram argument ④ equally supporting statement ③.

A box and line diagram of Beardsley's instance, produced using Harrell's process

More recently, philosophy professor Maralee Harrell recommended the post-obit procedure:[13]

  1. Identify all the claims being made by the author.
  2. Rewrite them as independent statements, eliminating non-essential words.
  3. Identify which statements are premises, sub-conclusions, and the main conclusion.
  4. Provide missing, implied conclusions and unsaid premises. (This is optional depending on the purpose of the argument map.)
  5. Put the statements into boxes and draw a line between any boxes that are linked.
  6. Bespeak back up from premise(southward) to (sub)conclusion with arrows.

Diagramming as thinking [edit]

Statement maps are useful not only for representing and analyzing existing writings, but also for thinking through issues every bit part of a problem-structuring process or writing process.[fourteen] The use of such argument assay for thinking through issues has been called "reflective argumentation".[15]

An argument map, dissimilar a decision tree, does not tell how to brand a decision, only the process of choosing a coherent position (or reflective equilibrium) based on the construction of an argument map can be represented every bit a decision tree.[16]

History [edit]

The philosophical origins and tradition of argument mapping [edit]

From Whately's Elements of Logic p467, 1852 edition

In the Elements of Logic, published in 1826 and issued in many subsequent editions,[17] Archbishop Richard Whately gave probably the kickoff form of an statement map, introducing it with the suggestion that "many students probably volition detect it a very clear and convenient mode of exhibiting the logical analysis of the grade of argument, to draw information technology out in the form of a Tree, or Logical Division".

Nonetheless, the technique did non get widely used, possibly because for complex arguments, it involved much writing and rewriting of the premises.

Wigmore evidence nautical chart, from 1905

Legal philosopher and theorist John Henry Wigmore produced maps of legal arguments using numbered bounds in the early 20th century,[18] based in part on the ideas of 19th century philosopher Henry Sidgwick who used lines to indicate relations betwixt terms.[19]

Anglophone statement diagramming in the 20th century [edit]

Dealing with the failure of formal reduction of informal argumentation, English speaking argumentation theory developed diagrammatic approaches to informal reasoning over a period of fifty years.

Monroe Beardsley proposed a course of statement diagram in 1950.[12] His method of marking upwards an argument and representing its components with linked numbers became a standard and is yet widely used. He too introduced terminology that is still electric current describing convergent, divergent and serial arguments.

A generalised Toulmin diagram

Stephen Toulmin, in his groundbreaking and influential 1958 book The Uses of Statement,[20] identified several elements to an statement which accept been generalized. The Toulmin diagram is widely used in educational critical teaching.[21] [22] Whilst Toulmin eventually had a pregnant affect on the development of breezy logic he had little initial touch on and the Beardsley arroyo to diagramming arguments forth with its afterwards developments became the standard approach in this field. Toulmin introduced something that was missing from Beardsley's approach. In Beardsley, "arrows link reasons and conclusions (but) no support is given to the implication itself between them. There is no theory, in other words, of inference distinguished from logical deduction, the passage is always accounted not controversial and not subject field to support and evaluation".[23] Toulmin introduced the concept of warrant which "tin be considered as representing the reasons behind the inference, the backing that authorizes the link".[24]

Beardsley's approach was refined by Stephen Due north. Thomas, whose 1973 book Practical Reasoning In Tongue [25] introduced the term linked to depict arguments where the premises necessarily worked together to support the determination.[26] Still, the actual distinction between dependent and contained premises had been fabricated prior to this.[26] The introduction of the linked structure fabricated information technology possible for argument maps to represent missing or "hidden" premises. In addition, Thomas suggested showing reasons both for and against a conclusion with the reasons against being represented by dotted arrows. Thomas introduced the term statement diagram and defined basic reasons as those that were not supported past any others in the argument and the last conclusion as that which was non used to back up any further decision.

Scriven's argument diagram. The explicit premise 1 is conjoined with boosted unstated premises a and b to imply 2.

Michael Scriven further developed the Beardsley-Thomas approach in his 1976 volume Reasoning.[27] Whereas Beardsley had said "At first, write out the statements...after a little practice, refer to the statements by number alone"[28] Scriven advocated clarifying the meaning of the statements, list them and and then using a tree diagram with numbers to brandish the structure. Missing premises (unstated assumptions) were to exist included and indicated with an alphabetical letter instead of a number to mark them off from the explicit statements. Scriven introduced counterarguments in his diagrams, which Toulmin had defined every bit rebuttal.[29] This also enabled the diagramming of "balance of consideration" arguments.[30]

In 1998 a series of big-scale argument maps released by Robert E. Horn stimulated widespread interest in argument mapping.[31]

Development of reckoner-supported argument visualization [edit]

Human–computer interaction pioneer Douglas Engelbart, in a famous 1962 technical report on intelligence augmentation, envisioned in particular something similar statement-mapping software as an integral part of time to come intelligence-augmenting computer interfaces:[32]

Yous usually think of an argument as a series sequence of steps of reason, kickoff with known facts, assumptions, etc., and progressing toward a conclusion. Well, we do have to call back through these steps serially, and nosotros usually do list the steps serially when nosotros write them out because that is pretty much the mode our papers and books have to nowadays them—they are pretty limiting in the symbol structuring they enable us to utilize. ... To assist us become better comprehension of the structure of an argument, nosotros can likewise call forth a schematic or graphical brandish. Once the ancestor-consequent links have been established, the reckoner can automatically construct such a display for us.

Douglas Engelbart, "Augmenting human intellect: a conceptual framework" (1962)

In the middle to late 1980s, hypertext software applications that supported argument visualization were developed, including NoteCards and gIBIS; the latter generated an on-screen graphical hypertextual map of an upshot-based information system, a model of argumentation developed by Werner Kunz and Horst Rittel in the 1970s.[33] In the 1990s, Tim van Gelder and colleagues developed a serial of software applications that permitted an argument map's premises to exist fully stated and edited in the diagram, rather than in a fable.[34] Van Gelder'south get-go program, Reason!Able, was superseded by two subsequent programs, bCisive and Rationale.[35]

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, many other software applications were developed for argument visualization. By 2013, more than 60 such software systems existed.[36] In a 2010 survey of computer-supported argumentation, Oliver Scheuer and colleagues noted that one of the differences between these software systems is whether collaboration is supported.[37] In their survey, unmarried-user argumentation systems included Convince Me, iLogos, LARGO, Athena, Araucaria, and Carneades; modest group argumentation systems included Digalo, QuestMap, Compendium, Dais, and AcademicTalk; community argumentation systems included Debategraph and Collaboratorium.[37]

Applications [edit]

Argument maps have been applied in many areas, but foremost in educational, bookish and business concern settings, including design rationale.[38] Argument maps are also used in forensic science,[39] police force, and artificial intelligence.[forty] It has also been proposed that argument mapping has a neat potential to improve how we understand and execute democracy, in reference to the ongoing evolution of e-democracy.[41]

Difficulties with the philosophical tradition [edit]

It has traditionally been difficult to carve up education critical thinking from the philosophical tradition of teaching logic and method, and most critical thinking textbooks have been written by philosophers. Informal logic textbooks are replete with philosophical examples, but information technology is unclear whether the approach in such textbooks transfers to not-philosophy students.[21] There appears to be little statistical effect after such classes. Argument mapping, however, has a measurable effect according to many studies.[42] For example, instruction in statement mapping has been shown to better the disquisitional thinking skills of business students.[43]

Bear witness that statement mapping improves critical thinking power [edit]

There is empirical evidence that the skills developed in statement-mapping-based critical thinking courses substantially transfer to critical thinking washed without argument maps. Alvarez'southward meta-analysis institute that such critical thinking courses produced gains of around 0.70 SD, about twice as much as standard disquisitional-thinking courses.[44] The tests used in the reviewed studies were standard disquisitional-thinking tests.

Limitations [edit]

When used with students in school, argument maps take limitations. They can "end up looking overly circuitous" and can increase cognitive load beyond what is optimal for learning the course content.[45] Creating maps requires extensive coaching and feedback from an experienced argument mapper.[45] Depending on the learning objectives, the time spent coaching students to create good maps may be better spent learning the grade content instead of learning to diagram.[45] When the goal is to prompt students to consider other perspectives and counterarguments, the goal may exist more easily achieved with other methods such every bit discussion, rubrics, and a simple statement framework or elementary graphic organizer such as a vee diagram.[45] To maximize the strengths of statement mapping and minimize its limitations in the classroom requires considering at what point in a learning progression the potential benefits of statement mapping would outweigh its potential disadvantages.[45]

Standards [edit]

Statement Interchange Format [edit]

The Argument Interchange Format, AIF, is an international attempt to develop a representational machinery for exchanging argument resource between enquiry groups, tools, and domains using a semantically rich language.[46] AIF-RDF is the extended ontology represented in the Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) semantic linguistic communication. Though AIF is yet something of a moving target, it is settling down.[47]

Legal Noesis Interchange Format [edit]

The Legal Noesis Interchange Format (LKIF)[48] was developed in the European ESTRELLA project[49] and designed with the goal of condign a standard for representing and interchanging policy, legislation and cases, including their justificatory arguments, in the legal domain. LKIF builds on and uses the Web Ontology Linguistic communication (OWL) for representing concepts and includes a reusable bones ontology of legal concepts.

Argdown [edit]

Argdown is a Markdown-inspired lightweight markup language for complex argumentation.[l] It is intended for exchanging arguments and argument reconstructions in a universally accessible and highly human-readable fashion. The Argdown syntax is accompanied past tools that facilitate coding and transform Argdown documents into argument maps.[51]
