8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 1. Nature of Relations
21341 Philosophers of logic and maths insisted that a vocabulary of relations was essential [Russell, by Heil]
21534 The only thing we can say about relations is that they relate [Russell]
21540 Relational propositions seem to be 'about' their terms, rather than about the relation [Russell]
21562 There is no complexity without relations, so no propositions, and no truth [Russell]
5371 Because we depend on correspondence, we know relations better than we know the items that relate [Russell]
5407 That Edinburgh is north of London is a non-mental fact, so relations are independent universals [Russell]
21576 With asymmetrical relations (before/after) the reduction to properties is impossible [Russell]
8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 4. Formal Relations / a. Types of relation
14430 If a relation is symmetrical and transitive, it has to be reflexive [Russell]
10586 'Reflexiveness' holds between a term and itself, and cannot be inferred from symmetry and transitiveness [Russell]
14432 'Asymmetry' is incompatible with its converse; a is husband of b, so b can't be husband of a [Russell]
8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 4. Formal Relations / b. Equivalence relation
10585 Symmetrical and transitive relations are formally like equality [Russell]
