Summary:Abstract: "This paper treats a general type of analogy which is described as follows: when two objects, B (called the base) and T (called the target) share a property S (called the similarity), it is conjectured that one T satisfies another property P (called the projected property) which the other B satisfies as well. This type of analogy is analyzed formally, and a logical relevance, called the illustrative criterion, w.r.t. T,B,S,P under a given theory A is extracted. In the study of analogy, the following have been central problems: 1) what object should be selected as a base w.r.t a target, 2) which property is important in analogy among properties shared by two objects, and 3) what property is to be projected w.r.t. a certain similarity
The criterion exposed here should shed light on a way to solutions for them.
