Indeed, many ach ievements in the history of science and mathematic s have been driven by analogical inferences. Moreo ver, one can formulate conjectures about domains i nto which one does not have empirical access just based on analogy with other known domains. Nonethe less, from a logical point of view analogical infe rences do not yield conclusions with certainty. So , what is it that justifies the use of analogy in science and mathematics? And how reliable is analo gical reasoning? This conference will address such open philosophical problems. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n
Analogy is a p owerful, yet controversial, tool of scientific rea soning. Indeed, many achievements in the history o f science and mathematics have been driven by anal ogical inferences. Moreover, one can formulate con jectures about domains into which one does not hav e empirical access just based on analogy with othe r known domains. Nonetheless, from a logical point of view analogical inferences do not yield conclu sions with certainty. So, what is it that justifie s the use of analogy in science and mathematics? A nd how reliable is analogical reasoning? This conf erence will address such open philosophical proble ms.
