Analogical predication theory(as Aquinas's main contribution to philosophy of language): A theory about how language works when we talk about God—the idea that we can only describe God by comparing Him to things we know, but those comparisons are never perfect or complete.
Aquinas: Thomas Aquinas was a medieval Italian priest and philosopher (1225-1274) who became one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. He attempted to show that Christian faith and human reason are compatible, arguing that we can use logic and observation to understand God and the natural world. His ideas deeply shaped Catholic theology and continue to influence how religious and secular institutions think about ethics, knowledge, and the relationship between science and belief.
Inadequately capture(describing how our concepts relate to God): Fail to fully or accurately represent something; leaving out important details or missing the complete truth.
Merely apparent contradiction(as what we might dismiss about God if we can rule it out)
