Joonho KIM Department of International Relations Tokyo International University Matoba 2509, Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan
Abstract: Analogy is a logical methodology, which can maximize the efficiency of human reasoning. Notwithstanding, few papers analyzed its logical characteristic. In this paper it is claimed that analogy is a typical form of logics, and the term and concept “analogics†is suggested. The reasoning principle, structure and process of this logicis are shown with some examples. It is certain that the analogics has great cognitive efficiency but it must obey rules to acquire the logical validity.
