terms it relates exist. The ancients, do
not appear to regard the relation as something
having a reality distinguishable from the reality
of the correlative terms. It seems to be signifi-
cant that both Plato and Aristotle discuss
relative terms, rather than relations as such.
For the most part, they signify relations by us-
ing a pair of "vords ,vhich name things standing
in a certain relation to one another.
Thus in the Categories, Aristotle refers to
'double' and 'half,' 'master' and 'slave,'
'greater' and 'less,' or 'kno,vledge' and 'object
known' as exanlples of correlative terms. "All
relatives," he says, "have a correlative."
tinles it is necessary to find the precise word, or
even to invent the right word, for in order to
indicate that a given term is relative, its cor-
relative must be appropriately named. "Con-
cubine," says I.Jocke, "is, no doubt, a rela tive
nanle, as well as wife; but in languages where
this, and like ,vords, have not a correlative
term, there people are not so apt to take them
to be so, as wanting that evident mark of
tioDS which is between correlatives, which seem
to explain one another, and not to be able to
exist but together."
When "reciprocity of correlation does not
appear to exist," Aristotle suggests that it Inay
be the result of our failure to use words care-
fully. If we wish to use the term 'rudder' as
relative, we cannot call its correlative a 'boat,'
for "there are boats \vhich have no rudders."
Since there is no existing word, it \vould be
"more accurate," i\ristotle thinks, "ifwe coined
some \vord like 'ruddered' to name the correla-
tive of 'rudder.'" Similarly, in the case of
'slave' as a relative term, its correlative is not
'man' understood in any sense, but only man
understood as 'master.'
The things \vhich are designated by a pair of
reciprocally relative- term<s must, according to
INTRODUCTION
Chapter 78: RELATION

IKE quantity and quality, relation is gen-
erally recognized as a basic term or cate-
Dry. But its meaning, like theirs, cannot be
dined. Relation is, perhaps, the prototype of
indefinable notion. As Bertrand Russell
ints out, it seems to be impossible to make
y statement of what relation is without using
e notion of relation in doing so.
Any term \vhich is essentially relative seems
so to be incapable of definition. Its meaning
nnot be stated without referring to its cor-
lative; and since the meaning of the latter
ciprocally involves the former as its correla-
e, each member of a pair of correlative tenns
aws upon the other for its meaning. A part is
part of a \vhole; a ,vhole, a whole of parts.
tmilarly, the meaning of parent involves the
otion of child and the llleaning of child the
notion of parent.
Plato applies this maddening fact about cor-
lative terms to all comparatives which pre-
ppose the correlation of more and less. "Com-
ratives such as the hotter and the colder," he
rites, "are to be ranked in the class of the in-
ite." They cannot' be measured or defined.
like 'much' and 'little,' 'great' and
mall' look like quantities, but, according to
1\.ristotle, they are "not quantities, but rela-
tives, for things are not great or small absolute-
ly; they are so called rather as the resul t of an
act of comparison."
Concerning quantities and qualities, the an-
cients ask how they exist. The alternatives seem
to be either that they exist in and of them--
selves, or that they exist as the attributes of
SUbstances such as stones and trees. But with
regard to relations, the question seems to be
Whether they exist rather than how they exist.
The supposi tion that a relation cannot exist
apart from the terms it relates may be thought
to imply that the relation does exist when the

571 CHAPTER 78: RELATION
'R(a,b,c,).' The first is a dyadic relation, the
second a triadic relation.
Relations are classified not only with respect
to the number of the terms they relate, but also
\vith respect to such formal properties as
symmetry, transitivity, reflexivity. The rela-
tion of parent and child, for example, isasym-
111etrical. It cannot be said, if A is the parent of
B, that B is also the parent of A; whereas.the
relation of brotherhood is symmetrical.. State-
ments of symmetrical relationship are convert-
ible. If we say that A is the brother of B, \ve
can also say that B is the brother of A.
The type of relationship remains the same
regardless of the character of the terms. Un-
equal quantities are asymmetrically related,
equal quantities symmetrically; 'to-the-right-
of' is an asymmetrical spatial relation, 'next-to'
is symmetrical; in time, 'simultaneous-\vith' is
symmetrical and 'prior-to' asymmetrical. The
distinction between transitive and intransitive
relations similarly holds for all kinds of terms.
The relation of father to son or of 'standing-
next-to' in space is intransitive,' for if Ais the
father of B, and B the father of C, A is notthe
father of C; whereas the spatial relation of
'standing-to-the-right-of' is transitive, for if A
is to the right of B, and B to. the right of.C,
then A is to the right of C.
The modern analysis of propositions as rela-
tional structures which differ in type according
to the character of the relations, not the charac-
ter of the terms, has an antecedent in Locke's
analysis of judgments as acts of comparison
which look to the relation bet\veen ideas rather
than to the ideas themselves. Both analyses
lead toa theory of inference which is based on
the convertibility of symmetrical relations and
on the transitivity of certain relationships' and
the intransitivity of others. As indicated in the
chapter on REASONING, the factor of transi-
tivity appears in William James' discussion of
the "principle of mediate comparison." He
states this in the formula "more than theimore
is more than the less." l'hen he explains that
"such a formula would cover all possible cases;
as, earlier than early is earlier than late,worse
than bad is worse than good, east of east is
east of,vest;etc., etc., ad libitum. Symbolically,
\ve Inight write it as a<b<c<d ... and say
that any number of intermediaries may be ex'"
Aquinas offers, in contrast, "other relations
hich are realities with regard to both ex-
femes; as when a relation exists between t\VO
bings according to some reality that. belongs
both. This is clear of all relations consequent
on quantity, great and small, double and
If, and the like; for there is quantity in both
tremes."
This distinction between real and 10gicaLre-
tions seems to. be qualifled by the interme-
iate '. case of a relation \vhich'i is pardy logical
ad partly real; for, according to Aquinas,
sometimes a relation in one extreme maybea
ality, while in the other extreme, it is only
idea. This happens whenever the two ex-
emes are not of one order .' ... Since God is

eatures are ordered to Him, and not. con-

THE GREAT IDEAS
570
Aristotle, coexist. One man cannot be called
a master unless another man exists who can
be called his slave; something cannot be called
larger unless something coexistent\vith it can
be called smaller. Aristotle considers possible
exceptions to this principle of the simultaneity
or coexistence of correlatives; as, for example,
in the case of knowledge and the kno"'Table. It
seems possible, he thinks, for the knowable to
exist before anyone has actual kno\vledge of it.
But the exception may be due to an improper
naming of the correlatives. If the correlative of
knowledge is the known rather than theknow-
able, then knowledge and its object may be said
to be necessarily coexistent, for nothing comes
to be an object actually known, except simul-
taneously \vith so.meone's coming actually to
know it.
THE COEXISTENCE OF things which are correla-
tive to one another still leaves a question con-
cerning the existence of the relation between
them. When conceived as an attribute, a qual-
ity or a quantity can be said to exist in the
thing it somehow modifies. In the language of
Aristotle, such accidents inhere in substances,
and accordingly have reality as long as the sub-
stances in which they inhere exist. But a rela-
tion does not seem to inhere in a substance. It
cannot be the attribute of a single thing. It
somehow lies between t\VO things, inhering in
neither, for if it belonged to either one alone it
could have some reality if that one existed and
the other did not. l"he question, therefore, is
whether relations really exist at all, or 'are only
in the mind of him who compares things or
considers theIn relative to one another.
"A sign that the relative is least of all a sub-
stance and a real thing," writes Aristotle, "is
the fact that it alone has no proper generation
or destruction or movement; as in respect of
quantity there is increase and diminution, in
respect of quality alteration, in respect of place
locomotion, in respect of substance simple gen-
eration and destruction. In respect to relation
there is no proper change; for, without chang-
ing, a thing will be novi greater and now less
or equal, if that with which it is compared has
changed in quanti ty. "
Plotinus also questions the reality of reia-
tions. "I-las relation-for example, that of
THE GREAT IDEAS 572
punged w'ithout obliging us to alter anything
in what remains written."
Jan1es thus formulates what he regards as the
most fundamental law of thought. For series
of "homogeneously related terms," the la\rv is
that "skipping inter1nediary terms leaves the rela-
tions the same." The factor of transitivity enters
the picture ,:vhen James distinguishes between
relations which are and relations \vhich are not
transferable. "All skipping of intermediaries
and transfer of relations occurs wi thin homo-
geneous series," he writes. "But not all homo-
geneous series allow of intermediaries being
skipped. It depends on which series they are,
on what relations they contain. Let it not be
said that it is a mere matter of verbal associa-
tion, due to the fact that language sometimes
permits us to transfer the name of a relation
over skipped intermediaries, and sometimes
does not; as where we call men 'progenitors' of
their remote as well as of their immediate pos-
teri ty, but refuse to call them 'fathers' thereof.
There are relations which are intrinsically
transferable, \:vhilst others are not. Therela-
tion of condition, e.g., is intrinsically transfer-
able. What conditions a condition conditions
vvhat it conditions-'cause of cause is cause of
effect.' The relations of negation and frustra-
tion, 011 the other hand, are not transferable:
what frustrates a frustration does not frustrate
what it frustrates. No changes in terminology
would annul the intimate difference between
these tvvo cases."
THE FOREGOING PASSAGES from James reflect
the general tenor of the theory of the calculus
of relations. I-Ie hilllself does not systematically
expound it. Its elaboration is to be found in the
\vritings of Boole, Couturat, and De j\/forgan, of
Jevons, Pierce, Bradley, Royce, Russell and
Whitehead (whose vvorks are cited in the Ad-
ditional Readings). Is this relational logic more
general than the subject-predicate logic that is
tradi tionally called "Aristotelian," or is the re-
verse the case?
'"The modern answer insists upon the greater
generality of relational logic. Royce, for ex-
ample, defining "subsun1ption" as a non-sym-
metrical, transitive relation ,,,hich obtains be-
tween two classes when one includes the other,
declares that "the entire traditional 'theory of
the syllogism' can be expressed as a Sort of co _
ment upon, and relativelysimple application

that there was only one form of simple proposi-

namely, the form wh1ch ascnbes a predicate to
a subject." It is, therefore, "unable to admit
the reality of relations; all relations, it main..
tains, must be reduced to properties of the
apparently related terms." Russell insists, on
the contrary, that "propositions stating that
two things have a certain relation have a differ-
ent form from subject-predicate propositions."
This can be n10st easily seen, he thinks, in the
case of asymmetrical relations. The proposition
which states that A and B are related by the
symmetrical relation of equality, can be inter-
preted to mean that A and B both possess a
common property. "But when we come to
asymmetrical relations, such as before and after,
greater and less, etc., the attempt to reduce
them to properties becomes," in Russell's
ion, "obviously impossible." The relational
theory of the proposition, therefore" includes
the subject-predicate theory as a special case.

Just as the status of each thing in nature is
affected by whether the universe is conceived
as a whole of internally related parts or as a set
of externally related,wholes, so the status of
the individual in society is affectecl by whether
the state is conceived as an organic whole or
merely as a political order formed by the free
association of individuals.
The consideration of the various types of
order occurs in other chapters, such as NATURE,
WORLD, SOUL, STATE, GOOD AND EVIL, and
BEAUTY. Particular types of relationship are
also iscussed in chapters concerned with the
terms between which such relationships
the relation of cause and effect in the chapter
on CAUSE; spatial and temporal
in the chapters on SPACE and Tn..1E; the rela-
tion of species and genus in the chapters on
EVOLUTION and IDEA; relations of equality and
inequality in the chapter on QUANTITY; and re-
lations of similarity and clissimilarityin the
chapter on QUALITY.
This last type of relationship, more broadly
conceived as including ,not merely likeness in
quality, but the sameness or similitude of
things in every sort of respect, is the main con-
sideration of the chapter on SAME AND OTHER,
The theory of analogy is discussed there also,
for though it is concerned with relation-
a
pro-
portion being a ratio of specific
relationship by which relations are themselves
related in analogies or proportions seems to be
one of similitude (either identity or similarity).
Finally, the idea of relation seems to be in-
volved in the contrast between the absolute
and the relative. Things are said to be con-
sidered absolutely when they are considered in
themselves, and relatively when they are con-
sidered with reference to something else, By
extension of these meanings, relativism tends
to assert that with regard to most things, if not
all, what they are depencl
s
on the point of
view, i,e., their relation to man, to this group
of men, or even to this man. Absolutism goes to
the opposite extreme of saying that things are
what they are independently of man's view of
them. The opposition of these two tendencies
creates familiar issues concerning the true, the
good, and the beautiful, which are discussed in
the chapters devoted to those subjects,

fleast it can be said that the various concep-

of order which appear in the great books
volve the idea of relation and of different
ip.ds of relationship.

other, related as lower and higher species in
hierarchy of grades of being, or as the parts
all-embracing whole. In each case, it
a difference, as we have already ob-
whether the relations involved are
to be real or logical, and internal or
to the things related.
... "' .....L..... similarly enters into conceptions of
........... ,J... political, and moral
of the parts of the soul, the order of
or functions in the state, the order of
the mind to the consideration of another,
would if the event could not be under-
us except as intrinsicallyrelated or
with that other.
n the tradition of western thought, the
e concerning the internality or externality
relations has profound implications for man's
ncepti
on
of the order of nature or the struc'
re of the world. The difference, discussed
the chapter on CHANCE, between what
Uliam James calls the "block" and the "con-
tenated" universe presupposes not onlydif-
tent views of causality, but also different
sitions with respect to the internality or ex-
rnality of relations, as is indicated 'by James'
iticism of Hegel and Bradley.
The relation of part and whole, and of one
to another in the structure of an organic
ole, seems to be the prime example of in-
mal relationship. Each part is thought to be
nstituted, both in its being and nature, by
e being and nature of the wholeto which it
longs and by the other parts which comprise
at whole. This may be seen in Spinoza'S
eory of God or Nature as the one and only
pstance, in and through which everything
eboth is and is conceived. ,All things are
cked together in' asystem of internal telation-
fPs-the finite parts with one another through
e infinite whole which determines each to be
hat it is, in itself and in relation to all others.

CHAPTER 78: RELATION
REFERENCES
To find the passages cited, use the numbers in heavy type, ,vhich are the volume and page
numbers of the passages referred to. For example, in 4 HOMER: Iliad, BK II [26S--283] 12d, the
number 4 is the number of the volume in the set; the number 12d indicates that the
sage is in section d of page 12.
PAGE SECTIONS: When the text is printed in one column, the letters a and b refer to the
upper and lower halves of the page. For example, in S3 JAMES: Psychology, 119b, the passage
begins in the upper half of page 116 and ends in the lower half of page 119. When the text is
printed in two columns, the letters a and b refer to the upper and lower halves of the
hand side of the page, the letters c and d to the upper and lower halves of the side of
the page. For example, in 7 PLATO: Symposium, 164c, the passage begins in the lower half
of the side of page 163 and ends in the upper half of the side of page 164.
AUTHOR'S DIVISIONS: One or more of the main divisions of a \vork (such as PART, BK, eH,
SECT) are sometimes included in the reference; line numbers, in brackets, are given in
tain cases; e.g., Iliad, BK II [26S---283] 12d.
BIBLE REFERENCES: The references are to book, chapter, and verse. When the King James
and Dauay versions differ in title of books or in the numbering of chapters or verses, the King
Jan1es version is cited first and the Douay, indicated by a (D), follows; e.g., OLD
MENT: Nehemiah, 7:4S-(D) II Esdras, 7:46.
SYMBOLS: The abbreviation "esp" calls the reader's attention to one or more especially
relevant parts of a whole reference; "passim" signifies that the topic is discussed
tently rather than continuously in the work or passage cited.
For additional information concerning the style of the references, see the Explanation of
Reference Style; for general guidance in the use of The Great Ideas, consult the Preface.
