Week 10: Judging Analogies.

Pick one concept or idea from the assigned reading, that we have not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.

In chapter 12, titled Reasoning by Analogy, of the Critical thinking book, author Richard Epstein talks about Judging Analogies. Judging Analogies basically refers to the way that we analyze, or as it is referred "judge" an argument. This topic provided a few examples to help explain what judging by analogy actually meant. it was very clear after reading through the section that it talked about how to analyze a topic in order to be able to judge on why an argument was actually stated. it helps find the relevance between one premise and another premise. It is better to actually analyze than just referring to an argument as vague. it more difficult to explain than it is to actually understand after reading through the examples that the author provides. i cant really think of a good example myself though but it is a good lesson on how to analyze to be able to connect one side to an analogy to the other and finds its premise.
