Talk:Relation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The significance of relation goes all the way back to the middle ages. Medieval Theories of Relations:

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/relations-medieval/

As one can see, it was a discourse that went on for centuries. To summarize, there are two dynamics of relations. They called them reducible and non-reducible types. Reducible types are relatively more or relatively less. Non-reducible types are exclusively about the connection. What is not clear is the term used that composes a relation. Relations are never composed of a single entity. It is my opinion that this entity should be called a subject. Other terms such as object or unit don't work with people. So if it is subjects that compose a relation, and a relation can itself be a subject, a closed system exists. --JHuber 18:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophical Relation

We really need an article on philosophical relation. As far as I can tell, none exists. Drunken Pirate 03:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps Relation of Ideas is close enough? Drunken Pirate 03:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
