Abstract Most people know the Periodic Table of Elements, the grid that organizes all building blocks of matter into one elegant framework. What if we could do the same for arguments?
The Periodic Table of Arguments (PTA) maps the many ways people try to convince one another, providing a clear overview of the building blocks of everyday reasoning. It draws on a long intellectual tradition that includes logic (reasoning), dialectic (debate), and rhetoric (public speech). What makes the PTA unique is its blending of insights from these three classical disciplines into a coherent framework.
