About Asa Boxer
You will find no outrage in analogy magazine. Instead the aim here is to deliver mind-opening perspectives and a positive appeal to our better natures.
Please note: Analogy magazine will no longer be posting regular articles, but paid subscribers can unlock existing paywalled content.
Analogy is an online magazine addressing the convergence of the arts and sciences.
As former poet laureate of England, the late Ted Hughes, pointed out, we do not educate the imagination:
“A student has an imagination, we seem to suppose, much as he has a face, and nothing can be done about it. ”
We propose that what emerges from training the imagination is the analogical mind, that subtle instrument that underwrites language itself and every insight and significant discovery ever hit upon by the most revered poets, philosophers, scientists and inventors in history.
