Which philosopher proposed that analogy is unnecessary and that 'good' is used univocally when referring to God and humans?

The philosopher who proposed that analogy is unnecessary and that the term 'good' is used univocally when referring to God and humans is Richard Swinburne. Swinburne's perspective assumes that a consistent understanding of goodness exists which can be applied to both divine and human contexts without the need for analogy. He argues that the characteristics we describe as 'good' in human terms can similarly be attributed to God, maintaining a clear and direct connection between the two.

This univocal approach counters the view that we must rely on analogical language when discussing God's attributes, which can lead to ambiguity and misunderstanding. By advocating for a univocal understanding of terms like 'good', Swinburne aims to clarify our discussion about God and reinforce a coherent interpretation of divine qualities that resonate with human experiences.
