Ep. #159 – Problems with Analogy After Aquinas w/ Dr. Domenic D’Ettore
Summary
What were the problems with the doctrine of analogy that others raised after Aquinas? How did different Thomistics respond to these problems? How might Thomists respond to professor Thomas Williams’ challenge that analogy reduces to univocity or unintelligibility? Dr. Domenic D’Ettore joins me to discuss these topics and more as we look at his book Analogy After Aquinas.
