The Analogy of Attribution is a philosophical concept used to explain how different things can be described using the same term based on a relationship to a primary source or cause. It is often used in theological contexts to describe how attributes of God can be analogically applied to creatures, emphasizing a proportional similarity rather than an identical quality.
