Hey guys, welcome to arguably.io, which I hope will become a space to gather organized information about debates, arguments and fact-checks.

What I'd like us to think about is: what are the important structures of philosophical/scientific/journalistic arguments that we would like to gather information about. Once this is decided upon, we will build a semantic wiki structure with categories and stats tracking that allows displaying the content we produce under this form.
 
For instance, for now what comes to mind is that everything on the wiki could be presented as a claim (i.e. each article would be its own claim). A claim could be: false, supported, fallacious with respect with a given argument, unsupported... I'd like us to think about the universe of possible categories in which claims can be divided. Claims could also be the counterclaims of other claims (i.e. "God exists" is the counter-claim of "God does not exist").

Hey guys, welcome to arguably.io, which I hope will become a space to gather organized information about debates, arguments and fact-checks.

If you'd like to contribute, start an account and create some pages. Feel free to produce drafts and unfinished stuff, this is a moment at which all ideas are welcomed and it doesn't matter if things aren't in final form.

What I'd like us to think about is: what are the important structures of philosophical/scientific/journalistic arguments that we would like to gather information about. Once this is decided upon, we will build a semantic wiki structure with categories and stats tracking that allows displaying the content we produce under this form.

For instance, for now what comes to mind is that everything on the wiki could be presented as a claim (i.e. each article would be its own claim). A claim could be: false, supported, fallacious with respect with a given argument, unsupported... I'd like us to think about the universe of possible categories in which claims can be divided. Claims could also be the counterclaims of other claims (i.e. "God exists" is the counter-claim of "God does not exist").

Feel free to edit your own pages or even the Main Page here and share your thoughts.
