Abstract

CALLEJA, MARIANELA. Pulcre cogitandum: Analogies in Aesthetic Argumentation. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2019, vol.45, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1852-7353.

In his recent books, Cuestiones de fundamento (2014) and Reglas y diálogos: una discusión lógica (2016), Jorge Roetti deals with analogies as an example of “insufficient” reason. The purpose of this paper is to de-velop this approach, taking it from a Leibnician position to a Baumgartian one: coming to approach the analogies positively, as an expansive resource of knowledge, paying particular attention to its relevance in the metatheory or foundation of thesis in aesthetics. We will dwell on the special case of quali-tative analogies, whose sense of similarity, although it can be limited, cannot be determined by an exact procedure.

Keywords : aesthetic knowledge; qualitative analogies; typology of analogies, similarity, Leibnizian heritage.
