What is so special about analogue simulations?
Francesco Nappo, Nicolò Cangiotti
This paper defends an account of terrestrial analogue simulations in black hole physics as instances of inferences from material analogy in science (Hesse 1963). We outline the mai…
Confirming Mathematical Conjectures by Analogy
Francesco Nappo, Nicolò Cangiotti, Caterina Sisti
Analogy has received attention as a form of inductive reasoning in the empirical sciences. However, its role in pure mathematics has received less consideration. This paper provide…
Group Fairness Is Not Derivable From Justice: a Mathematical Proof
Nicolò Cangiotti, Michele Loi
We argue that an imperfect criminal law procedure cannot be group-fair, if 'group fairness' involves ensuring the same chances of acquittal or convictions to all innocent defendant…
Reasoning by Analogy in Mathematical Practice
Nicolò Cangiotti, Francesco Nappo
The testimony and practice of notable mathematicians indicate that there is an important phenomenological and epistemological difference between superficial and deep analogies in m…
