Logical structure of analogy: (preliminary report)

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 T satisfies another property P (called the projected property) which B satisf...

Zusammenfassung: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 T satisfies another property P (called the projected property) which B satisfies as well. This type of analogy is analyzed formally, it is clarified that analogical reasoning is possible only if a certain form of rule, called the analogical prime rule, is a deductive theorem of a given theory. Also, this paper shows that, from the rule, together with two particular conjectures, an analogical conclusion is derived. A candidate is shown for a non-deductive inference system which can yield both conjectures."
