RESUMO

The study aims at showing the nature of metaphor, particularly its speculative value and its ontological foundation (or implicit ontology), for Saint Thomas Aquinas and Paul Ricoeur, making a comparison between both conceptions. In a first moment, Aquinas` conception of metaphor is presented, recurring to four interpreters (Penido, McInerny, Cruz and Duffy). In a second moment, Ricoeur`s conception of metaphor is displayed, especially as presented in The living metaphor. In the final part of the work, the incorporation of image in speculative discourse (speculative value of metaphor) and the relation metaphor-ontology (ontological foundation of metaphor) in both authors are compared.
