Second, it has a certain analogical strength (particularly upon first impression). ❋ Unknown (2010)

If this is a Schiavo thing, it’s lacking in analogical power, but I’ll leave it at that. ❋ Unknown (2005)

The difference is, that in the case of a complete induction it has been previously shown, by due comparison of instances, that there is an invariable conjunction between the former property or properties and the latter property; but in what is called analogical reasoning, no such conjunction has been made out. ❋ John Stuart Mill (1839)

Hence though they are liable to surprise, when their passing trains of ideas are dissevered by violent stimuli; yet are they not affected with wonder or astonishment at the novelty of objects; as they possess but in a very inferior degree, that voluntary power of comparing the present ideas with those previously acquired, which distinguishes mankind; and is termed analogical reasoning, when deliberatively exerted; and intuitive analogy, when used without our attention to it, and which always preserves our hourly trains of ideas consistent with truth and nature. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)

These "analogical" processes are at the heart of scientific exploration. ❋ Unknown (2006)

He submitted, in a low voice across the table to Bishop, that it was a kind of analogical illustration of those physical laws, in virtue of which Like flies to ❋ Unknown (2007)

The secret at the heart of all things is gift; and the purpose of God in so giving a share in his action, an 'analogical' echo of his own life, is that what is not God may be suffused with God's joy. ❋ Unknown (2004)

It is evident that as a note may be interpolated between any two of the scale, for reach or variety, and called, _e. g._ [sharp] - F or [flat -] G, so a half tint between green and blue is a kind of analogical [sharp] green or [flat] blue. ❋ Various (N/A)

The discovery of Uranus, at a distance falling but slightly short of perfect conformity with the law of Titius, lent weight to a seemingly hazardous prediction, and Von Zach was actually at the pains, in 1785, to calculate what he termed "analogical" elements [200] for this unseen and (by any effect or influence) _unfelt_ body. ❋ Unknown (1874)

With respect to the "analogical" or "adaptive" resemblances between organic beings which are not really related {451}, I will only add, that probably the isolation of different groups of species is an important element in the production of such characters: thus we can easily see, in ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

However, I do have both pragmatic and analogical concerns about such a distinction. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Some argue that such analogical reasoning is dangerous, that your allegories can bite you if you get too close to them. ❋ Matt Ridley (2011)

In my opinion, whether or not an objection like his amounts (as you seem to contend) to a sort of prescriptive originalism/revisionism vis-a-vis the realspace 4A balance depends on the analogical parity between realspace and cyberspace. ❋ Unknown (2010)

You focus on analogical similarities (supporting the view that the cyberspace balance should be like the realspace balance); he focuses on distinctions (supporting a cyberspace balance that is different from the realspace one). ❋ Unknown (2010)

The roots of this mindset reach back centuries, Mr. Gregory says, to the late-medieval theologian John Duns Scotus, who argued that God and man both exist in the same essence of things and that therefore man may speak of God with "univocal" as opposed to "analogical" language. ❋ Barton Swaim (2012)

Once fossilized in '30' and '40' and once laryngeals gave way to compensatory lengthening, the decads from 50 to 90 were prone to analogical lengthening. ❋ Unknown (2010)
