It highlights his contribution to introducing and defining these terms in the Victorian scientific community, including Darwinists. Owen is positioned as a pioneer in clarifying these notions. The subdivisions of homology are explored, such as special, general, and serial, along with Owen's concept of archetype.

The Platonism typically attributed to him appears to lack solid grounding, especially when considering the significance Owen assigns to the central categories of his thought. El trabajo analiza los conceptos de homología y analogía en el pensamiento de Richard Owen. Se destaca su contribución en la introducción y definición de estos términos en la comunidad científica victoriana, incluidos los darwinistas. Owen es posicionado como el pionero en la clarificación de estas nociones. Se exploran las subdivisiones de homología, como la especial, general y serial, junto con el concepto de arquetipo de Owen. Además, se examina la interpretación ortodoxa de su pensamiento contrastada con el platonismo que se le suele atribuir, sugiriendo matices relevantes en la valoración de su obra. El platonismo que suele adjudicársele parece no estar fundamentado de manera sólida, sobre todo si tomamos en cuenta el sentido que Owen otorga a las categorías centrales de su pensamiento.
