Analogical reasoning--which relies on the concept of two different things being in some way like each other--is hugely important not just in the practice of law, but it is nonetheless strongly contested. This volume raises key questions like: What is the logical, argumentative, rhetorical, or just heuristic force of analogy in law? Is analogy really different from extensive interpretation, reasoning by precedent and appeal to paradigm? <br/><br/><label>ISBN: </label>9789048537143 9048537142 <br/><br/><label>Subjects--Topical Terms: </label><br/>Law--Methodology.<br/>Analogy.<br/>LAW--Essays.<br/>LAW--General Practice.<br/>LAW--Jurisprudence.<br/>LAW--Paralegals & Paralegalism.<br/>LAW--Practical Guides.<br/>LAW--Reference.<br/>LAW--General.<br/>Analogy.<br/>Law--Methodology.<br/><br/><label>Index Terms--Genre/Form: </label><br/>Electronic books.<br/>Electronic books.<br/><br/><label>LC Class.
