  Darwin’s view on science was different from his inductivistcontemporaries. After a glimpse to this difference, in section one hisfirst three geological hypotheses will be refered. We could see therethat how did he understand that analoy cannot provide any proof for atheory. Section two is devoted to Darwin’s argument(s) in the origin ofspecies. We find there that his scientific method is in accordance withcritical rationalism. Manuscript profile

  How to establish an analogy between the two types of natural and artificial selection has been studied and studied by many historians and philosophers of science, biology and evolution. One of the most important sources in this regard is Darwin's manuscripts, which show how, in the process of Darwin's research studies, an analogy between natural and artificial selection was formed in his mind. His approach to analogy is a naturalistic one. In the history of science and knowledge, there are many examples of analogies that have been used both as discoveries and as arguments. According to the new findings of the cognitive sciences, the human mind operates on the basis of analogical reasoning, so that a number of cognitive scientists believe that analogy is at the core of human cognition. Various models in the cognitive sciences have been proposed for analogy. Researches show that the analogical arguments used by Darwin based on cognitive science models, are proportional analogy, with the difference that he used a number of bridging and Contrastive analogies to establish the analogy between natural and artificial selection.

  3 - The Application of Ecology Theories in Finance

  In this paper we examine ecological theories in which could be applied explaining behaviors in financial markets. However animal behavior has been used to describe financial markets so far (Bull and Bear markets and herding behavior), we argue that many theories in ecology has not been studied yet and are overlooked. In this study we show there is a considerable potential to relate ecological principles such as optimal foraging theory, marginal value theorem, prey size threshold, predation and foraging, bet hedging hypothesis, natural selection, weather and animal behavior, and propagule pressure to financial markets theories.     Manuscript profile
