Canadian sculptor Elizabeth Wyn Wood (1903–66), best known for her modernist landscape sculptures, has since the inception of artistic career been compared, through analogy, with Group Seven (fl. 1920–33), Canada’s enduringly famous and overtly nationalistic collective painters. Critics claimed that “achieved sculpture what achieved painting” and, occasionally, invoked specific artists, dubbing...

Thinkers and philosophers have constantly benefited from different         approaches of reasoning to explore and justify their ideas. Theses reasoning            approaches are considered as the principle instruments in speculative activities of the thinkers. To this end to achieve the procedure of thinking and the way philosophers achieve objectives, it is necessary to recognize their reasoni...

Analogy is a powerful boundary-transcending process that exploits a conceptual system's ability to perform controlled generalization in one domain and re-specialization into another. The result of this semantic leap is the transference of meaning from one concept to another from which metaphor derives its name (literally: to carry over). Such generalization and re-specialization can be achieved...

In this work, an analytical study on the bending stiffnesses of corrugated board has been performed. Formulations to calculate the bending stiffnesses D11, D22, D12, and D66 of the equivalent plate representing the corrugated board have been established, and then compared to expressions suggested by other investigators. Several methods for modeling the shape of the corrugated orthotropic medium...

I argue that Stephen Wykstra’s much discussed Parent Analogy is helpful in responding to the evidential problem of evil when it expanded upon from a positive skeptical theist framework. This framework, defended by John Depoe, says although we often remain dark about first-order reasons God allows particular instances suffering, can have second-order would create world with seemingly gratuitous ...
