SUMMARY:Analogical Reasoning in Science and Mathem
 atics, Munich, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181026
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181028
LOCATION:Munich, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Analogy is a powerful, yet controversi
 al, tool of scientific reasoning. 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.
