Matter's Mastermind: the Model-Making Brain: Model as Analogy
Diogenes 29 (116):18-39 (1981)
Abstract
Innovative understanding or explanation stems almost exclusively from analogical reasoning. Induction systematizes the familiar; deduction casts it into formal relationship. Reasoning by analogy brings to bear on the familiar a new perspective derived from another realm of inquiry. Models are fruits from the tree of analogical knowledge.My notes
