Quote from ‘Cambridge Lectures on Reasoning and the Logic of Things: Types of Reasoning’

Term: 
Analogy
Quote: 

For the sake of brevity I have abstained from speaking of the argument from analogy, which Aristotle terms [paradeigma]. I need hardly say that the word analogy is of mathematical provenance This argument is of a mixed character being related to the others somewhat as the Fourth Figure of syllogism is related to the other three.
