Analogia Entis: On the Analogy of Being, Metaphysics, and the Act
of Faith is an intellectually rigorous and systematic account of
Thomas's teaching regarding the analogy of being. Steven A. Long's
work stands in contradistinction to historical-doctrinal surveys
and general introductions, retrieving by way of an interpretation
of Aristotle and Aquinas the indispensable role that analogy of
being plays for metaphysics and, consequently, for theology. In his
later writings St. Thomas did not return to questions about the
analogy of being that he had answered earlier in his career. This
has led most historical-textual treatments of analogy in current
scholarship to the mistaken conclusion that Thomas actually changed
his answers to these questions. Scholars fail to see the continuity
between his treatment in the Summa theologiae and his earlier De
veritate. Long's study demonstrates the coherence of St. Thomas's
earlier and later analyses. It shows how Thomas's later account in
the Summa theologiae necessarily presupposes his earlier teaching.
This is a book that invites the reader to a demanding and
speculatively intense appreciation of the metaphysics of analogy.
It will contribute significantly to the growing debate on the
analogy of being.
