On the Argument by Analogy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2022
Abstract
Conditions are stated under which the “argument by analogy” is consistent with the principle of inverse probability. It is contended that the argument by analogy, in conjunction with a crucial test, has a legitimate place in scientific logic. As an example the astrophysical problem of solar granulation is discussed in detail and other examples are mentioned more briefly.
