New system visualizes arguments, revolutionizing philosophical discussions and computer science.
The article discusses Douglas Walton's argumentation schemes approach, which aims to classify natural language arguments used in various fields. Walton's model provides a structure suitable for computer systems, such as the Carneades Argumentation System, which visualizes arguments as maps. This visualization helps users analyze and evaluate arguments more effectively, making it easier to determine the argument scheme being used. The study focuses on the intersection of philosophical logic and computer sciences, where informal logic studies are advancing.
