At Argumentrix, we explain the arguments and counter-arguments that underlie scientific, religious and political debates. Each argument in this wiki is distilled into a series of direct statements like "[[governments should prohibit cannabis]]" and "[[governments should recognize both opposite and same sex marriages]]". In order to keep Argumentrix simple, to-the-point and conflict-free, we do not provide historical context, in-depth explanations or easy-to-understand summaries of ideas. Instead, we link freely to Wikipedia and other sources for background information, and keep Argumentrix tightly focused on providing an explanation of what people believe and why.
 
Argumentrix is a wiki of argument, opinions and rebuttals. Each page is a statement, an entire opinion, with the body of the article made up of bullet points explaining the supporting and opposing arguments for each side. All counter-arguments and rebuttals are separated into their own interlinked pages, so each individual proposition can be examined in great detail, in a neutral and even-handed way. Argumentrix can foster understanding among people who disagree, and can help us all communicate our opinions more clearly.
