Written in 1498, \u003ci\u003eDe Nominum Analogia\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eOn the Analogy of Names\u003c\/i\u003e) 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 \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 \u003cp\u003e\"Cajetan's universally scorned doctrine on analogy of proportionality has for some time been ripe for rehabilitation. Given recent philosophical and scholarly work on the semantics of analogy, it is no accident that only now could a philosopher be found who is up to the task. Joshua Hochschild is certainly that. \u003ci\u003eThe Semantics of Analogy\u003c\/i\u003e will make the Thomist and Scotist alike rethink his or her position on analogy, and Hochschild's sustained argument will challenge all to take seriously the way classical semantics deals with ambiguity. It is a masterful book.\" --David B. Twetten, Marquette University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"A reassessment of Cajetan's work on analogy is long overdue.
