Prefatory
The Aristotelian Society of Marquette University each year invites a scholar to deliver a lecture in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas. Customarily delivered on the Sunday nearest March 7th, the feast day of the Society's patron saint, these lectures are called the Aquinas lectures.
In 1941 the Society had the pleasure of recording the lecture of the Rev. Gerald Bernard Phelan, who was then president of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, Ontario. Father Phelan was also professor of philosophy in the School of Graduate Studies in the University of Toronto and professor of psychology in St. Michael's College. Formerly he had been a lecturer in philosophy at St. Mary's College, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and then librarian of the Institute of Mediaeval Studies. Father Phelan is now director of the Mediaeval Institute at the University of Notre Dame.
Born at Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1892, Father Phelan attended St. Francis Xavier University (M.A.), the Catholic University of

Fellowships which he has held include the Power Scholarship of St. Mary's College, the Moloney Scholarship of the Catholic University of America, and the position of corresponding fellow of the Mediaeval Academy of America.

St. Thomas and Analogy1
IT IS not uncommon for speakers to make exaggerated statements regarding the importance of the subject to which they propose to address themselves, but I trust you will not accuse me of following that questionable custom when I say, with Cajetan,2 that without an understanding of the doctrine of analogy it is impossible to acquire a knowledge of metaphysics. The importance of analogy in the philosophy of St. Thomas literally cannot be overestimated. There is not a problem either in the order of being, or in the order of knowing, or in the order of predicating,3 which does not depend for its ultimate solution on the principle of analogy. Not a question can be asked either in speculative or practical philosophy which does not require for its final answer an understanding of analogy.
