Description
Leo Groarke, Dept. of Philosophy, Trent University
—Visual arguments that support conclusions with pictures instead of (or in addition to) sentences and words have been discussed for decades, but the logic of such arguments remains an emerging field of study. I will discuss the logical assessment of visual arguments and different approaches to it. In the process I will discuss the work of Michael Gilbert, Ian Dove, Georges Roque, Anthony Blair, and others.
