Fallacious Analogical Reasoning and the Metaphoric Fallacy to a Deductive Inference (MFDI)
Isonomia (Epistemologica) 5:159-178 (2014)
Abstract
In this article, we address fallacious analogical reasoning and the Metaphoric Fallacy to a Deductive Inference (MFDI), recently discussed by B. Lightbody and M. Berman (2010). We claim that the authors’ proposal to introduce a new fallacy is only partly justified. We also argue that, in some relevant cases, fallacious analogical reasoning involving metaphors is only affected by the use of quaternio terminorum.Author's Profile
