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 7, the feast day of the Society's patron saint, these lectures are called the Aquinas lectures.
In 1954 the Society had the pleasure of recording the lecture of Henry Babcock Veatch, Ph.D., professor of philosophy at Indiana University.
Born in Evansville, Indiana, in 1911, he received his primary education in the public schools of that city. He then attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University, receiving his A.B. degree with honors in 1932 and a master's degree in philosophy in 1933. He spent two years in study at the University of Heidelberg on a Phillip Sears traveling fellowship from Harvard. Returning from

abroad, Dr. Veatch resumed study at Harvard and received his Ph.D. degree in 1936. After a year as an assistant in philosophy at Harvard he joined the philosophy faculty of Indiana University. There he served successively as instructor (1937-41), assistant professor (1941-48), associate professor (1948-52), and since 1952 as full professor. Dr. Veatch was awarded a fellowship in 1952 by the Ford Foundation Fund for Advancement of Education and spent a year in the study of the relation between philosophy and religion at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, and the Harvard Divinity School.
Dr. Veatch is a member of the American Philosophical Association, Association for Realistic Philosophy, Mind Association, Indiana Philosophical Association, and Phi Beta Kappa.
In 1952 Yale University Press published his work, Intentional Logic. He has contributed the chapter on Aristotelianism for A History of Philosophical

Systems, (Vergilius Ture Anselm Ferm, editor, Philosophical Library, New York, 1950) and the chapter on logic for another philosophical volume, Return To Reason, (John Wild, editor, Henry Regnery, Chicago, 1953). He also has written a number of articles and reviews for philosophy journals.
To the list of his writings the Aristotelian Society has the honor of adding Realism and Nominalism Revisited.

Acknowledgements
Much of the material of this lecture was presented originally in a short paper read before the Association for Realistic Philosophy, in the spring of 1953 at Brown University, and later in two lectures delivered under the auspices of the Facult de Philosophie, Universit Laval, Qubec, during the summer of 1953. On both occasions I profited greatly from the discussions that followed, and I should like to express my thanks to participants and sponsors alike.
But even more particularly, my gratitude goes out to the Reverend Gerard Smith, S.J., and his colleagues at Marquette University for any number of pertinent comments and suggestions, to say nothing of their most gracious hospitality during my stay in Milwaukee.
"I can no other answer make but thanks, And thanks; and ever... oft good turns Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay: But, were my worth as is my conscience firm, You should find better dealing."

Realism and Nominalism Revisited
REALISM and nominalism may well be perennial issues in philosophy. And yet in a celebrated lecture, entitled "Logicism and Philosophy,"1 delivered in Harvard University some 18 years ago, Professor Gilson would seem to have implied that at certain times and in certain situations in the history of philosophy the issue between realists and nominalists is likely to be much more acute than at others. Specifically, Professor Gilson was talking about the 12th century, and he was contending that the almost hopeless philosophical impasse that was the result of the realist-nominalist controversy of those days might in large measure have been due to the fact that the thinkers

of the 12th century knew little else in philosophy save logic, and they accordingly undertook to solve all philosophical problems, even those of metaphysics, not as metaphysicians, but simply as logicians.2
Now without pressing the parallel too far, it may none-the-less be significant for us to note that today, no less than in the 12th century, there is a realist-nominalist controversy raging.3 Not only that, but most of the parties to the present dispute are men who would no doubt call themselves, if not logicians, at least semanticists; and in any case they would all be pretty much agreed that the only really serious discipline in philosophy is logic.4 Accordingly, one cannot but wonder whether, just as it was logicism that was at the root of the realist-nominalist controversy in the 12th century, it may not also be a kind of logicism that is at the root of the contemporary dispute in semantics between the so-called
