The consideration of '' Relative Term s'' 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) .
