Summary/Abstract: The problem of analogy returns to the attention of philosophers especially after 1970. Our study starts from the hypothesis that the analogy is a natural form of human thought. For this reason the Romanian philosopher Lucian Blaga believes that we need a metaphysical foundation of the analogy. This foundation use two principles: 1) the lack of common ancestry; 2) a sufficient or minimal arrangement to obtain homogeneity.
