Philosopher Mary Brenda Hesse

considered the use of #metaphors and #analogies in scientific models.
Instead of obsessing over the justification of scientific knowledge, she highlighted the need to think about its generation. How do scientists develop their ideas about the world and come to discover new things?
The cognitive power of metaphors, in her view, resided in their capacity to create similarity. The use of metaphors is an act of co-creating, not discovering, similarities between a metaphor and its physical target system. Such an act of metaphorical co-creation is inevitably shaped by cultural context.

at my own place, re upping a piece on #Holocaust #analogies. ugly Holocaust analogies are ugly. but it's important not to ban comparisons altogether, or we use the Holocaust as a warning and a lesson. https://noahberlatsky.substack.com/p/the-pros-and-cons-of-holocaust-analogies
