Language: Italian

Il testo analizza il potere propulsivo dell'analogia nell'indagine scientifica, esplorando diverse modalità con cui essa è impiegata per formulare ipotesi, interpretare dati e generare modelli. Viene inoltre esaminata criticamente la validità epistemologica del ragionamento analogico, sviscerandone i fondamenti logici e le implicazioni per la teoria della conoscenza. Attraverso un'analisi rigorosa, arricchita da esempi di analogie tratte da diverse discipline, l'autore delinea un quadro originale della funzione di questa preziosa e controversa risorsa per la ricerca scientifica. Inteso come contributo alla filosofia della scienza e all'epistemologia contemporanea, il volume si rivolge a chiunque intenda approfondire le dinamiche cognitive e metodologiche che soggiacciono al processo di scoperta scientifica.

The epistemological validity of analogical reasoning is also critically examined, examining its logical foundations and implications for the theory of knowledge. Through a rigorous analysis, enriched by examples of analogies drawn from different disciplines, the author outlines an original picture of the function of this precious and controversial resource for scientific research. Intended as a contribution to the philosophy of science and contemporary epistemology, the volume is aimed at anyone who intends to delve deeper into the cognitive and methodological dynamics that underlie the process of scientific discovery.]
