Relation Theory • Discussion 5

Re: Survey of Relation Theory Re: Ontolog Forum • Ravi Sharma RS: Is there also an attempt at integrating these relation concepts?  Like a meta‑model of relations? Dear Ravi, I haven’t run across the concept of a meta‑model before so … Continue reading

Survey of Precursors Of Category Theory • 3

A few years ago I began a sketch on the “Precursors of Category Theory”, tracing the continuities of the category concept from Aristotle, to Kant and Peirce, through Hilbert and Ackermann, to contemporary mathematical practice.  A Survey of resources on … Continue reading

Survey of Relation Theory • 6

In this Survey of blog and wiki posts on Relation Theory, relations are viewed from the perspective of combinatorics, in other words, as a topic in discrete mathematics, with special attention to finite structures and concrete set-theoretic constructions, many of … Continue reading

Notes On Categories • 2

Re: Category Theory • Joe Moeller JM: In category theory, we have this perspective that we should focus attention on maps, on the relationships between objects, rather than on the objects themselves.  What’s your favorite examples of people giving a … Continue reading

C.S. Peirce and Category Theory • 7

Re: Category Theory • Henry Story HS: I’d be very interested in the comments of people who know about Peirce on the two chapters in the book Diagrammatic Immanence I linked to above on “3. Peirce” and “4. Diagrams of Variation : … Continue reading
