Logic of relatives

&#9758; This page belongs to resource collections on Logic and Inquiry.

The logic of relatives, more precisely, the logic of relative terms, is the study of relations as represented in symbolic forms known as rhemes, rhemata, or relative terms. The treatment of relations by way of their corresponding relative terms affords a distinctive perspective on the subject, even though all angles of approach must ultimately converge on the same formal subject matter.

The consideration of relative terms has its roots in antiquity, but it entered a radically new phase of development with the work of Charles Sanders Peirce, beginning with his paper "Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole's Calculus of Logic" (1870).
