Written in 1498, \u003ci\u003eDe Nominum Analogia\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth approaches, argues Joshua P. Hochschild, ignore the philosophical and historical context and fail to accurately assess Cajetan's work. In \u003ci\u003eThe Semantics of Analogy\u003c\/i\u003e, Hochschild reinterprets \u003ci\u003eDe Nominum Analogia\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eDe Nominum Analogia\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua P.
