On analogical arguments: Organizing logical and conceptual problems in sections 18 and 19 of Schopenhauer´s The World as Will and Representation
Here I list and organize some logical and conceptual problems in Section 18 (about the cognoscibility of the thing in itself) and Section 19 (about the extension of this result to the world) in Schopenhauer´s main work. When Schopenhauer put out the analogical argument for the responsibility for tra...
