Lavori sistemici. Risultati e prospettive

The concept of analogy was forgotten when philosophers concentrated themselves on logic expression of philosophical problems and on a physics-scientific basis for philosophy. Neurosciences, biology and systemic thinking have recently renewed attention on analogy, that must be reconsidered from a philosophical point of view. A research path on analogy has been developed through two interdisciplinary meetings, a privatissimum and a Conference, whose proposal could be summarized as follows: analogy is a pre-propositional human ability, rooted in perceptive constitution, at the origin of knowledge and of universals.
