63. The Dangers Of Analogies. Abbott, Edwin Abbott 18381926. Flatland, a romance of many dimensions.With illustrations by the author, A Square New and rev. ed. http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/scenario/analogy.htm

THE DANGERS OF ANALOGIES by Donald E. Simanek These are rough, informal notes to accompany a short talk. This is not yet a fully polished document. Here's a statement of teaching philosophy on a letter of application: The use of analogies from everyday life helps students to understand concepts better, to realize that it is mostly the same physical arguments that explain phenomena they see around them. This applicant was not selected by us. Job seekers who are tempted to include with their resumes a statement of their teaching philosophy ought to write it from experience, not from speculation. It might be read by people who have been in the ed-biz for very many years, who have seen the educational fad pendulum swing through several cycles, who have seen each new utopian educational panacea end up as a dismal failure in the real world. One thing remains constant in education: Nothing works if the students don't work. The notion is widespread among teachers, especially at the introductory levels of physics, that use of analogies to get across concepts is a "good thing." Actually, I (who have taught both introductory and advanced courses) think that it's a very risky practice, which usually leads to concepts, ideas and thinking habits that must later be painfully unlearned. Then there's the far more sinister "argument by analogy" in which a comparison is invoked in order to derive a conclusion. It takes the form "Because M has properties A, B and C, then if N has properties A and B, it also has C." Stated in this stark way, its absurdity as a "method of argument" is obvious, for it can be used to conclude things that are patently false. The dangers of thinking by analogy are noted by nearly every book on logic, argument, and debate. For example, chapter 8, "Pitfalls of Analogy" in the Robert H. Thouless classic

Of the Doctrine of our Priests Part 2: Other Worlds How I had a Vision of Lineland How I vainly tried to explain the nature of Flatland Concerning a Stranger from Spaceland How the Stranger vainly endeavored to reveal to me in words the mysteries of Spaceland ... How I then tried to diffuse the Theory of Three Dimensions by other means, and of the result To The Inhabitants of SPACE IN GENERAL And H.C. IN PARTICULAR This Work is Dedicated By a Humble Native of Flatland In the Hope that Even as he was Initiated into the Mysteries Of THREE Dimensions Having been previously conversant With ONLY TWO So the Citizens of that Celestial Region May aspire yet higher and higher To the Secrets of FOUR FIVE OR EVEN SIX Dimensions Thereby contributing To the Enlargment of THE IMAGINATION And the possible Development Of that most rare and excellent Gift of MODESTY Among the Superior Races Of SOLID HUMANITY About this Electronic Edition and its Authenticity This electronic version of Flatland is transcribed from the second edition (1884) of the original text. It appears that this is the most common (or perhaps the only) edition found on the internet. I may make corrections from time to time if I discover errors in this version. If so, such corrections will be based on my sixth edition (1952) paperback copy.

Contents Introduction 4th Dimension (1) 4th Dimension (2) Fundamental Forces The 5th Dimension Sources The fashionable fourth dimension at the turn of the last century (2) Henry Slade (1835-1905) Inevitably, the manifestations of this interest were sometimes very strange. To wit, consider the sensational 1877 London trial of the psychic/confidence man Henry Slade, where the existence of a fourth dimension was an integral part of the defense. Testimony on Slade's behalf was offered by some of the most famous physicists in England; including William Weber, J. J. Thompson, and Lord Rayleigh. Their efforts were in vein; Slade was eventually found guilty. There were also ramifications of extra dimensions outside the legal realm: For example, the Christian spiritualist A. T. Schofield found that the fourth dimension was a convenient place for heaven and hell to be located. In the world of surrealist art, Hinton's tesseract figures prominently in at least one of Salvador Dali's canvasses Corpus Hypercubus . In addition, some have speculated that the appearance of the subjects in Picasso's cubist paintings - which are often viewed from several directions simultaneously - was motivated by ideas about the fourth dimension.

"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, and: Flatterland: like Flatland only More So (review)" Perspectives in Biology and Medicine - Volume 45, Number 3, Summer 2002, pp. 472-474 The Johns Hopkins University Press Excerpt Flatterland and its predecessor Flatland (first published in 1884) present popularized and generally accessible views of the modern geometry of their respective times. They each follow an inhabitant of a two-dimensional space whose mathematical and social viewpoint is expanded through the miraculous appearance of a visitor from a higher dimensional world. The earlier work, a product of the late Victorian era, brings us to see how worlds of one or two or four dimensions might appear to their respective inhabitants. Ian Stewart's Flatterland , an update of Flatland , gives us a perspective on the social concerns and the richer geometry of our own era. The more recent book also touches upon physics, giving brief descriptions of modern concerns about quantum theory, particle physics, and cosmology.

Bioethical Pluralism and Complementarity [Access article in HTML] [Access article in PDF] Subjects: Bioethics. Medicine Philosophy. Justice (Philosophy) Abstract: This essay presents complementarity as a novel feature of bioethical pluralism. First introduced by Neils Bohr in conjunction with quantum physics, complementarity in bioethics occurs when different perspectives account for equally important features of a situation but are mutually exclusive. Unlike conventional approaches to bioethical pluralism, which attempt in one fashion or another to isolate and choose between different perspectives, complementarity accepts all perspectives. As a result, complementarity results in a state of holistic, dynamic tension, rather than one that yields singular or final moral judgments.
