Relation Theory • Local Incidence Properties The next few definitions of local incidence properties of relations are given at a moderate level of generality in order to show how they apply to -place relations.  In the sequel we’ll see what … Continue reading →

Relation Theory • Preliminaries Two definitions of the relation concept are common in the literature.  Although it is usually clear in context which definition is being used at a given time, it tends to become less clear as contexts collide, … Continue reading →

Here’s an introduction to Relation Theory geared to applications and taking a moderately general view at least as far as finite numbers of relational domains are concerned (-adic or -ary relations). Relation Theory This article treats relations from the perspective … Continue reading →

In the first place there are likenesses or copies — such as statues, pictures, emblems, hieroglyphics, and the like.  Such representations stand for their objects only so far as they have an actual resemblance to them — that is agree … Continue reading →

If exegesis raised a hermeneutic problem, that is, a problem of interpretation, it is because every reading of a text always takes place within a community, a tradition, or a living current of thought, all of which display presuppositions and … Continue reading →
