Author Description

The Analogy Of Names And Concept Of Being is a philosophical treatise written by Thomas De Vio Cajetan, a prominent 16th-century Italian theologian and philosopher. The book explores the concept of analogy in language and the relationship between language and reality. Cajetan argues that words and concepts have both univocal and equivocal meanings, and that the meaning of a word depends on its context and the intention of the speaker. He also examines the nature of being and existence, and the relationship between essence and existence. The book is considered an important contribution to the field of metaphysics and has been influential in the development of philosophical thought. Written in Latin, the book has been translated into various languages and is still studied and debated by scholars today.Duquesne Studies Philosophical Series No. 4.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
