A Short Remark on Analogical Reasoning
Karl Schlechta
TL;DR
This paper explores the challenge of formalizing analogical reasoning within a logical framework, proposing a semantics-based approach inspired by counterfactual and preferential structures.
Contribution
It introduces a novel logical semantics for analogical reasoning, extending existing models for counterfactuals and preferences.
Findings
Proposes a semantics for analogical reasoning.
Connects analogical reasoning to counterfactual and preferential semantics.
Lays groundwork for formal analysis of analogy in logic.
Abstract
We discuss the problem of defining a logic for analogical reasoning, and sketch a solution in the style of the semantics for Counterfactual Conditionals, Preferential Structures, etc.
