15. Nature of Minds / C. Capacities of Minds / 7. Seeing Resemblance
The different types of resemblance don't resemble one another [Fodor]
     Full Idea: The ways in which different kinds of thing are similar to one another aren't, in general, similar to one another.
     From: Jerry A. Fodor (LOT 2 [2008], Ch.5.4)
     A reaction: Nice, but I think one would say that they lack similarity at the level of primary thought, but have obvious similarity (as concept-connectors) at the level of meta-thought.
