The Semantics of Analogy is the first book-length interpretive
study in English of Thomas de Vio Cajetan's (1469?-1534) classic
treatise on analogy. Written in 1498, De Nominum Analogia (On the
Analogy of Names) has long been treated as Cajetan's attempt to
systematize Aquinas’s theory of analogy. A traditional
interpretation regarded it as the official Thomistic treatise on
analogy, but current scholarly consensus holds that Cajetan
misinterpreted Aquinas and misunderstood the phenomenon of analogy.
Both approaches, argues Joshua P. Hochschild, ignore the
philosophical and historical context and fail to accurately assess
Cajetan's work. In The Semantics of Analogy, Hochschild
reinterprets De Nominum Analogia as a significant philosophical
treatise in its own right. He addresses some of the most well-known
criticisms of Cajetan's analogy theory and explicates the later
chapters of De Nominum Analogia, which are usually ignored by
commentators. He demonstrates that Cajetan was aware of the limits
of semantic analysis, had a sophisticated view of the relationship
between semantics and metaphysics, and expressed perceptive
insights about concept formation and hermeneutics that are of
continuing philosophical relevance.
