I continue with my Selections and Comments examining Peirce’s 1870 Logic of Relatives, one of those works which convinced me from my earliest grapplings I would need to learn a lot more mathematics before I’d have any hope of understanding what Peirce was up to. What I’ve put on the Web so far is linked in this Overview.
We continue with §3. Application of the Algebraic Signs to Logic.
