About this book

Mental Leaps: Analogy in Creative Thought by Holyoak, Keith J.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780262082334.

Holyoak (psychology, UCLA) and Thagard (philosophy, computer science, U. of Waterloo) show how analogy works as a mental tool and how it can be used in problem solving, decision making, explanation, and communication. They present their own theory of analogy and consider its applications in fields such as animal cognition, social psychology, political science, philosophy, and anthropology.
