Upcoming reading: perry (only one that is required), sider and conee, egan (8/20) wait until after the midterm and focus on the midterm. See slides for recap support for premise 2: the deign in any human artifact is the effect of having been made by an intelligent being (obvs) Similar effects = the more justified inference that the effects have a similar cause. More criteria for determining the strength of an analogical argument. The strength of an analogical argument can be affected by identifying significant and relevant differences between the items compared. Ex: mike"s shirt; he is identifying relevant differences between them, so he is justified for saying that he does not like the shirt; weakening the analogy and weakening comparisons.
