Methods of identification and analysis of argumentative structures used in communication processes, evaluation of their logical, pragmatic, ethical, and emotional aspects are developed. The author examines the phenomenon of a philosophical work in comparison with a work of fiction. The analysis of philosophical works takes into account both logical constructions and systems of images, visual and expressive means of the philosophical language.
