Ian Hacking on Picture (Mapping) - Dictionary of Arguments
I 233 Figure/equality/Hacking: similarity is something independent. It is not a relationship, but it creates the relations of a relationship! >Similarity, >Equality, >Relations. First comes the similarity and equality with respect to this or that. First, there is the presentation and then the "real". >Representation, >Reality. Much later the terms come into play with which we can describe the respects in which there is similarity. >Concepts, >Theoretical terms. Similarity can occur independently, without concepts x, y, or z, where you think, "similar with respect to x, but not in terms of y and z". >tertium comparationis._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
