The Inferential Arrow: A Comment on Interdisciplinary Conversation

Abstract

The papers by Tim van Gelder and Chris Reed and Glenn Rowe reflect well both the complexity of the issues involved in trying to create a generic and flexible mapping tool useful for the study of various kinds of inference and the ingenuity that is being devoted to addressing these issues. I am particularly intrigued by the efforts described by Reed and Rowe to use a software tool, Araucaria, to translate among different diagrammatic tools developed by various theorists. As an evidence scholar, I come at this primarily with an interest in understanding the tool's use in analyzing evidence and inference in litigated cases. In other words, I come at it largely as Wigmore would. So, I am particularly interested in how Wigmore's famous chart method translates into other diagrammatic templates.
