Summary/Abstract: Investigating the role of visualizations in science (broadly defined) is a meta-scientific question, a self-reflexive inquiry into, among other things, the method of research activity itself. In the field of philosophy, such a self-reflective inquiry can be illustrated by the following questions: Can visualiza-tions express philosophical content? Can visualizations serve as philosophical arguments? In this article, I will discuss—also with the help of a poster—some of the weaknesses of a certain anticognitivist line of argument against considering visualizations as philosophical argumentative tools.
