    • Fr. William A. Wallace, O.P., in “Thomism and the Quantum Enigma,” The Thomist 61 (1997): 455–468, claims that
    Quote
    analogical middle terms are sufficient for a valid demonstration

    and that this is
    Quote
    a teaching that is distinctive of Thomism
    that other Scholastic schools do not uphold.

    How do Thomists justify that "analogical middle terms are sufficient for a valid demonstration"?

    (cf. this on "mixed sciences" or scientia media, this Philosophy.StackExchange.com question, and this StackExchange  answer)
