“…23 For that reason and others steeped in cognitive theory, Winter rejects the anxiety that "metaphor is merely a matter of expression -useful for rhetorical purposes, but perilous to reason." 24 In fact, he argues, since our sense of rationality is related to our common, embodied experience of the world around us, the human tendency to categorize, analogize, or employ metaphors or other devices is not imaginative freedom unconstrained:…”

Analogical reasoning is common in legal writing, just as analogies are a part of everyday life. Indeed, they may be inescapable features of human cognition. Used well, analogies illuminate the writer’s reasons and persuade the reader. Used poorly, however, they may obscure or even replace the precision and detail in reasoning that is crucial to the development of law. Without entering the ongoing debate about the nature of human thought, this article explores some of the dangers present in the relationship that analogy maintains with law. In particular, the article examines the risks inherent in analogizing across a technological or social divide. The article concludes by noting the long-term consequences of analogies and metaphors in shaping thought and, therefore, society.

Extensive study of the lunar surface using spacecraft (Ranger, Surveyor, Orbitor, and Apollo projects) and a surge of activity at visible, IR, and radio wavelengths using ground‐based telescopes during the past 5 years has resulted in a staggering increase in knowledge of the moon. It is impossible to cover properly even the major results in this limited format. We give here a very abbreviated discussion and refer the interested reader to the project reports and review articles listed in the first section of the bibliography. Individual references in the text are not given when the topic is covered in the appropriate mission report, usually by several authors. Articles that appeared separately in the literature are referenced in the text. The bibliography contains only articles that appear in major scientific journals. Again the extent of the literature has required extensive, and perhaps some improper, deletions.
