Examples, reasoning, metaphor and analogy are all good argumentation skills, and examples and reasoning are very common. Relatively speaking, metaphors and analogies are fresh and vivid. But analogy argument is similar to analogy argument, which is easy to confuse people. If you don't grasp it well, it will often be neither fish nor fowl, which is counterproductive.
If you want to use it, you must learn to understand it. Today I'm going to share how to distinguish metaphorical argument from analogical argument.
similar
(1) Metaphor argument refers to the argument method of using analogy (vehicle) to demonstrate analogy (ontology). As long as there are similarities between two things, one thing can be compared with another, thus demonstrating a more abstract thing.
Just like the lyrics say, "I love you, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice …".
(2) Analogy argument is an argument method that compares and analogizes a known thing (or case) with something (or case) with some similar characteristics to prove the argument. Among them, "the same characteristics" is the premise of this argument method. Without it, there is no analogy.
For example, "Torture of Mother's Soul" is taught by one teacher. Why is there such a big difference in grades?
For example, argumentative writing and analogical argumentative writing have a process of "comparing" the object of argumentative writing with other disciplines, which makes it difficult to distinguish them.
two
discrepancy
1. The subject in the argument has different names.
(1) There are two types of metaphor argumentation: ontology and vehicle.
(2) These two analogies are: ontology and object (category)
2. Different ways of argument
(1) Metaphorical argumentation refers to using concrete images to express abstract arguments and truths, emphasizing "metaphor" to make reasoning more vivid and easy to understand.
For example, compare the mouse's crazy love for rice to the feelings between lovers.
Another example is "carrying firewood to put out the fire, still living on the land, the fire will not go out", the stupidity of "carrying firewood to put out the fire" and the consequences of "endless wages, the fire will not go out", which shows that "Qin lived on the land" is unwise and will eventually lead to the end of national extinction.
(2) Analogy is something similar. Comparing the similarity between subject and object, the object has some attributes, and the derivation of subject should also have this attribute, which is a process of comparative reasoning.
For example, in Zou Ji's Irony, the King of Qi (subject) and Zou Ji (object) are similar, and both of them are superior, so Zou Ji was cheated: his wife is a private minister, and my concubine is afraid of him, and the guest wants something, so they all think that Zou Ji is more beautiful than Xu Gong; You can introduce the King of Qi, or you can be cheated. Palace ladies are kings, courtiers are not afraid of kings, and all the seas are kings, so you can draw the conclusion that "kings do more harm."
