title: Semantics of Analogy: Rereading Cajetan's De Nominum Analogia
author:  Joshua P. Hochschild 
description: "Students of the Protestant Reformation may remember Cardinal Cajetan as Martin Luther's key opponent during a crucial early phase of the reformer's public career. . . . Joshua Hochschild's careful analysis of Cajetan's recondite defense of analogy late in the 15th century may yet once again challenge Protestants to become more self-conscious about how they speak about God, themselves, and the world in the early 21st century." (Books and Culture)<br /><br />"Hochschild's work is both readable and well argued and will no doubt expose Cajetan's writings to a wider audience. Moreover, this volume should appeal to scholars interested in semantics and philosophy of language, as well as those interested in religious language and the history of philosophy." (Journal of the History of Philosophy)<br /><br />"In his study of De nominum analogia, Hochschild sets out to do two things. First, he demolishes what he describes as an outdated paradigm concerning the interpretation of Cajetan's work. Second, Hochschild gives an explanation and what amounts to a paraphrase of Cajetan's distinctions and arguments in their order of presentation. . . . this book should certainly be read by Thomists, and by anyone who wants a readable account of what Cajetan actually said."

  PREFACE 
  The present volume brings together a number of things I have 
  written on the subject of analogy since the appearance of The Logic of 
  Analogy in 1961. In that book I tried to disengage St Thomas' teaching 
  on analogous names from various subsequent accretions which, in my 
  opinion, had obscured its import. The book was widely reviewed, 
  various points in it were rightly criticized, but its main argument, 
  namely, that analogical signification is a logical matter and must be 
  treated as such, was, if of
