What’s the difference between these two terms? Although the nuances of their etymology differ, the usage of each appears quite similar.
Do you have any examples?
This is how I’ve come across them:
Mutatis mutandis is typically used in proofs to state that the result follows by a similar line of reasoning.
Ceteris paribus is typically used in economics to state that ‘if all other factors remain constant’.
"Thus, this approach relatively strengthens the tenden****cy toward withdrawal, disillusionment, cynicism, and mutatis mutandis, contributes to a relative reduction in the general atmosphere of politicaliza****tion." A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism, Hoppe
"Ceteris paribus, it is the democratic state-and the democratic socialism incorporated in it-which commands the higher income and so proves to be superior in wars with other states." A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism, Hoppe
Mutatis mutandis = the [necessary] changes having been made
Ceteris paribus = all other things being equal
MM is used when emphasising the change being made, I guess.
I learned the term mutatis mutandis when reading Hoppe’s book too!
