| Summary: | Since the attempt, from the middle of the twentieth century onwards, to retrieve the genuine Aquinas from the supposedly debased forms of Thomism found in the Neoscholasticism of the earlier part of the century, Cajetan’s treatise on the analogy of terms—De nominum analogia—has received rather poor press. It was popular among Neoscholastics, and was often presented as an attempt to provide a systematization of Aquinas’ thinking on the subject. As such, commentators from the past fifty or so years have rightly found it wanting. Hochschild comes up with a novel suggestion, obvious once pointed out. The work does not present itself as an interpretation of Aquinas, so it should not be read and assessed as though it were. |
