Argumentation and Rhetoric mind maps

Start with Argumentation if you want an introduction to reasoning and the statements people make. For a comparison of argument models, The 3 Approaches to Arguments sets out the Classical, Toulmin and Rogerian approaches. Both offer a starting point before you move to a more specific topic.

The maps cover approaches to arguments, logical fallacies, credibility and the rhetorical situation. Some focus on how arguments are assessed, including validity, premises and conclusions. Others look at persuasion or the connections between claims, grounds and warrants.
