Analogy understood this way is then generally seen as a type of inductive reasoning. This view of analogy as a method of acquiring knowledge was popularized by John Stuart Mill. The problem of acquiring new knowledge is usually considered to be the problem of psychology, leaving the knowledge corroboration problem to the sphere of philosophy. From this point of view, analogy does not play any role in philosophical investigations. Thomas Aquinas reinterprets Aristotle’s view of analogy and explains it as a relationship between the names based on proportion which enables us to understand the use of these names in theoretical contexts and allows the new ones to be created. The question of how to use a word and how that word functions is one of the topics of the philosophy of language. In our opinion, the contexts of understanding words and their functioning in language are of no less importance than the contexts of acquiring or verifying knowledge.","PeriodicalId":124689,"journal":{"name":"SOTER: Journal of Religious Science","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117031970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on geographical data of these registers the article indicates those names of places (from volosts to towns) where Roman Catholics (among them quite a number of Lithuanians) lived during the above mentioned time period. The research results allow stating that Catholics lived in all six vast districts of Tomsk province (Barnaul, Biysk, Kayinsk, Kuznetsk, Mariinsk, Tomsk), its 34 volosts and eight towns. Data from the Church register, synthesized by the author, as well as state statistics, prove that the majority of Catholics during those years lived in Kayinsk, Tomsk and Mariinsk districts. There were very few of them in three southern districts. Most of Catholics lived in Tomsk district (in 1869 – about 2460 people), especially in Tomsk town and volosts: Ishtimskaya, Semiluzhnaya, Bogorodskaya; in Kayinsk district (about 2380 people), especially in volosts: Ust’-Tart, Kyshtovskaya, Voznesenskaya; in Mariinsk district (about 1530 people), especially in volosts: Pochitanskaya, Zyryanskaya, Dmitriyevskaya. The data of the registers can be used as an independent historic source which testifies about the demography, priests, Catholic families and their settlements of a certain period of time. It would be useful to continue the work and create similar maps and tables for every period of time and every Siberian region by comparing these data, Church and state statistics, registers of confessions. The result of such work could be a historical atlas-guide, one of the most important tools for a historian.","PeriodicalId":124689,"journal":{"name":"SOTER: Journal of Religious Science","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129166230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
