Hi power users:
There is an interesting resource that touches upon critical thinking:
https://www.logos.com/product/28541/biblical-logic-in-theory-and-practice-refuting-the-fallacies-of-humanism-darwinism-atheism-and-just-plain-stupidity
Our great poster MJ has mentioned that it would be nice to have an argument mapping module in L8 to allow persons to make analysis that is useful.
Following her lead I checked a bit to find interesting info:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_map
The wiki above has many links that take to very interesting articles like:
https://web.archive.org/web/20120708000509/http://images.austhink.com/pdf/Claudia-Alvarez-thesis.pdf
Seems to suggest that the study of critical thinking in particular surpasses the study of philosophy in general to develop the skills.

A good overview (way long url).LOL.

More specific about practical argumentation.

Looking at horizons.
Then some pages that are indirectly referred to:
http://projects.kmi.open.ac.uk/scholonto/software.html
And just googling:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/thoughts-thinking/201811/improving-critical-thinking-through-argument-mapping
To put things in context.
But the important thing I discovered is that I do not have to go to Kindle to find resources about the topic:
https://ebooks.noet.com/search?query=critical%20thinking&sortBy=Relevance&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all
So MJ, once again, thanks for your very relevant input, always in a didactic type mode, and hope L8 does develop some module adjustment to allow canvas or other function to have the ability to do basic argument maps.
Feel free to share in some more resources, links, articles, or your ideas, etc.
Peace and grace.
👍
I've often wanted this capability in Logos. I think it'd be right up there with morphing and classing.
That said, I'd want it directly in resources and Bibles (vs a separate view like mind mapping). The wiki article above has an example I copied below. In theory, you could use the Logos notes capability to look similar. But not really usable, since there'd be lots of linkages.
I can easily see, users would 'violently' argue their needs ... difficult to implement. And user population limited. Easier to just tag the author as screw-lose, and proceed to agreeable (smart) authors.
So. I'd suspect external software may be the better proposition?
I’ll add my three votes if someone wants to make a request
