"Essential" Resemblance There is a danger in all analogical argument that the resem- blance between the cases supposed to be analogous is only a super- ficial one; or even perhaps that the resemblance, though on the whole real and deep, is not essential for the purpose intended. So far as an argument professes to rest on analogy, we must first ascer- tain, if possible, the exact points of resemblance and difference, and in- quire whether the resemblance has any right to be considered essential.... 5 1 Cf. Mill, ib. 2, 3; Bain, Logic, vol. Ii, p. 147. 2 Cf. Bosanquet, Logic, vol. Ii, p. 90. Cf. Welton, Logic, vol. Ii, pp. 76-80. * See Sidgwick, Process of Argument, p. 194. Cf. Sidgwick, Fallacies, p. 253. ANALOGY 253 To illustrate this point, Mr. Sidgwick makes use of the argument sometimes employed against Sunday closing, that, since the upper classes have their clubs open on that day, it would be unfair to deprive the poor of their only places of resort and refreshment. It is clear at once that we have here a case of double analogy, " essential resemblance" being considered to exist (1) between clubs and public-houses, and (2) between the upper classes and the lower.
