Argument from<\/span> COMPARISON<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Comparison<\/em> is the process of determining whether or not two objects,, two situations, two systems… have some similarities<\/em> or analogies<\/em>. A process of comparison is involved in many argumentative activities, so the label argument by comparison<\/em> (a comparatione<\/em>) is used with different meanings.

Comparison and categorization<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Comparison is the basis for the categorization-nomination process; the individual to be categorized is compared either with a known individual belonging to the category, or with the prototypical member defining the category. S. Justice<\/a><\/p>\n

Intra-categorical comparison<\/strong> \u2014 Two beings belonging to the same category are identical<\/em> from the point of view of that category. Nevertheless, they can still be compared in terms of:<\/p>\n

\u2014 their non-categorical properties; S. Intra-categorical analogy<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 their position relative to a prototypical subcategory of that category. A rat and a whale, for example, are identical insofar as both are mammals<\/em>; considering that the cow is a prototypical mammal, we can say that a rat, being nearer to a cow than to a whale, is \u201cmore\u201d a mammal than a whale.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Hierarchical categories,by definition, contain built-in comparisons: Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate are three types of academic degrees, listed by ascending order, see a fortiori<\/em> argument.

Comparison and structural analogy<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Establishing a structural analogy also involves a process of comparison.
