An example of an analogy from a scientific concept:
"An especially striking example is offered by the relationship between situations in which we ponder on the motives for our actions and in which we experience a feeling of volition. …The use of apparently contrasting attributes referring to equally important aspects of the human mind presents indeed a remarkable analogy to the situation in atomic physics, where complementary phenomena for their definition demand different elementary concepts. … In such an analogy, the impossibility of providing an unambiguous content to the idea of subconsciousness corresponds to the impossibility of pictorial interpretation of the quantum-mechanical formalism."
