In this paper, I will propose a classification of analogies based on their internal structure. Selecting the criteria used in that classification first requires discussing the minimal constitutive parts of any analogy. Accordingly, I will discuss the differences between analogy and similarity and between analogy and “synalogy,” and I will stress the importance of the analogy of operations and procedures. Finally, I will set forth a classification of the different types of analogies, which lends itself to a further understanding of the differences between certain modulations of the general idea of analogy, such as archetypes, prototypes, models, simulations, parables, paradigms, canons, maps, thought experiments, myths, utopias, dystopias and fables.

类比分类建议

在本文中，我将根据类比的内部结构提出类比的分类。选择用于该分类的标准首先需要讨论任何类比的最小构成部分。因此，我将讨论类比与相似性之间以及类比与“类比”之间的差异，并强调操作和程序类比的重要性。最后，我将对类比的不同类型进行分类，这有助于进一步理解类比一般概念的某些变体之间的差异，例如原型、原型、模型、模拟、寓言、范式、规范、地图、思想实验、神话、乌托邦、反乌托邦和寓言。
