Logic Of Relatives (1870)




After a brief account of its historical setting, the body of this article traces the outlines of Peirce's 1870 "Logic of Relatives", noting a few of its more striking anticipations, interpreting its formulations with respect to the contemporary understanding of logic that it served to shape, and setting in higher relief a few of its promises that have yet to be taken up.
