• Reliabilitas generalisasi adalah tingkat kepercayaan tentang kebenaran
• Generalisasi makin kuat jika tingkat reliabilitasnya makin tinggi• Ada beberapa cara untuk meningkatkan reliabilitas generalisasi
• Banyak kasus dan representatif• Homogenitas
• Melihat seluruh kasus• Reliabilitas adalah maksimum• Banyak hal yang tidak mungkin dienumerasi
• Kasus yang diamati supaya cukup banyak
• Cara ini dapat meningkatkan tingkat reliabilitas
• Makin homogen kasusnya makin tinggi tingkat reliabilitasnya
• Kalau homogen sempurna, maka cukup dengan satu kasus (terjadi di
laboratorium fisika dan kimia; di mana saja, garam dapur adalah sama)
• Digunakan pada metodologi penelitian supaya memperkecil kekeliruan baku
• Generalisasi dapat melahirkan hukum baru (temuan baru) yang dapat terus

• (2) Di dalam urutan waktu, sebab mendahului akibat
• (3) Di antara sebab dan akibat terdapat hubungan-perlu (necessary
• Untuk memenuhi hubungan-perlu, kedua syarat ini harus dipenuhi

• (3) Gabungan metoda kecocokan dan perbedaan
• Jika satu dan hanya satu keadaan relevan yang ada di semua kasus yang
menghasilkan akibat, maka keadaan itu adalah penyebab atau berkaitan dengan penyebab

• Senin: pisang, kopi, gula, roti, mentega• Sela
• Rabu: pisang, kopi, gula, ikan, roti• Kamis: pisang, havermout, gula, susu, telur• Jumlah: pisang, susu, kue, sirup
(mungkin saja bukan karena makan, atau karena makanan semalam, atau mungkin juga interaksi komponen makanan)
(penyebab sesungguhnya adalah komponen yang ada di semua minuman: alkohol)
• Jika keadaan adalah sama dalam segala hal kecuali satu, dan jika akibat
terjadi pada semua hal kecuali pada hal tiadanya satu itu, maka satu itu adalah penyebab atau terkait dengan penyebab
• Hari Sabtu, Anu makan pagi seperti hari Jumat kecuali pisang: Susu, kue,
• Kalau akibatnya tidak sakit perut, maka pisang adalah penyebabnya
• Kalau masih mabuk, maka es bukan penyebabnya
• Keadaan relevan ada pada semua hal ketika terjadi akibat serta tidak ada
ketika tidak terjadi akibat adalah penyebab atau terkait dengan penyebab
• Apabila satu keadaan berubah secara teratur ketika keadaan lain berubah,
maka ada semacam hubungan kosal di antara mereka

yang diketahui, maka keadaan tambahan perlu dicari untuk menjelaskan bagian yang tidak terjelaskan dari akibat itu
(5) ada persamaan fungsional yang self-contained
(9) ada dukugan data empirik terhadap persamaan fungsional
(10) ada kecocokan di antara model struktural dan data empirik
• Untuk memisahkan hubungan fungsional sebab-akibat dari sekedar
• Perlu mengidentifikasi mekanisme dari hubungan fungsional itu
• Perlu ada kepastian urutan bahwa sebab terjadi sebelum akibat
• Dalam keadaan tidak pasti, urutan waktu dapat diperdebatkan
• Kalau tidak dapat dipastikan maka tidak bisa menjadi sebab-akibat

Analogy (from Greek ana logon “according to ratio”), originally, a similarity in
proportional relationship. It may be similarity between two figures (e.g.,triangles) that differ in scale or between two quantities, one of which, thoughunknown, can be calculated if its relation to the other is known to be similar tothat in which two other known quantities stand. Thus if 2 : 4 :: 4: x, it can beseen that x = 8. Another form of analogy noted by the Greeks is that of inferringsimilarity of function; known as “educing the correlate.” Aristotle (Topics, i, 17)stated the formulas of these two kinds of analogy: “As A is to B, so C is to D”and “ As A is in B, so C is in D.”
vision possible in the perceptual world. Here a relationship not yet understoodis analogous to one already familiar.
In the Middle Ages it was believed that the universe formed an ordered
structure such that the macrocosmic pattern of the whole is reproduced in themicrocosmic pattern of the parts so that it is possible to draw inferences byanalogy from the one to the other. Thus, the law of nature conceived in thejuridical sense, which prescribes the fitting order of human relationships, couldbe assimilated to the physical sense
of law, which describes the order obtaining in the natural world. Because thenatural world exhibited hierarchical degrees of subordination, it was argued,human relationships should also exhibit such subordination. Such parallels wereheld to constitute arguments and not merely allegorical illustrations; it wascontended, for instance, that as there were two luminaries to light the worldand two authorities set oven man (the papacy and the empire), then, as theMoon’s light is reflected from the Sun, so the imperial authority must bederived from the papal. Dante, in his De monarchia (c. 1313), while claimingthat it is light and not authority that the empire derives from the papacy,nev
In scientific thinking analogies or resemblances may be used to suggest
hypotheses or the existence of some law or principle, especially if a comparisoncan be made between the functions of elements in two systems, as whenobservation of the moon of Jupiter suggested by analogy the modernconception of solar system. The argument of Thomas Robert Malthus, theEnglish economist, the population tends to increase in
numbers beyond the means of their subsistence suggested to Charles Darwinthe evolutionary hypothesis of natural selection. The fruitfulness of suchanalogies depends on whether the resemblance is of a fundamental or amerely superficial kind. Functional resemblances are more likely to befundamental than qualitative ones (such as colour). It would not be legitimate,for instance, to conclude from the model of atomic nucleus as a miniature solarsystem that the process of nuclear fission is similar to that by which newplanetary systems may be formed or disrupted.
In social and political discussion analogous may elucidate some unfamiliar
misleading, however, insofar as they overlook that fact that individual membersof the community also have purposes, rights, and responsibilities of their own. In employing the method of analogy, it should always be possible to show thatthe resemblances noted bear relevantly on the point to be established,whereas the differences are irrelevant. In many cases it is difficult to be sure ofthis construction, and arguments from analogy are therefore precarious unlesssupported by considerations that can be established independently.
