 Argument from analogy

The argument from analogy is a form of reasoning that draws a comparison between two different entities or situations to infer that if they are similar in certain respects, they are likely to be similar in other ways as well. This type of argument often serves to support a conclusion by highlighting parallels between the known and the unknown. In philosophy and logic, this type of argument is frequently used to make cases in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics.
