CHAPTER

Exploring Thomas Aquinas' Analogy of Being

The chapter examines Thomas Aquinas' theory of analogy of being, illustrating its significance in understanding God, creatures, and reality through the use of 'being' across different levels of existence. It contrasts analogical knowledge of God with univocal knowledge, emphasizing the qualified use of the term 'being' to describe various entities. The discussion also highlights how analogy of being helps maintain divine simplicity in statements about God, acknowledging the limitations of human language while distinguishing His nature and attributes.
