Abstract

For Bobbio, it is beyond doubt that analogical inference must have a logical foundation, and only a logical one; reasoning by analogy would accordingly be logical reasoning where “formal logic will be more important than the teleological approach”1. Bobbio’s study is, then, presented in two separate parts: one dealing with the logical aspect of analogy (formal logic), the other with analogical inference in legal science2.
