The '''logic of relatives''', short for the '''logic of relative terms''', is the study of [[relation (mathematics)|relation]]s as represented in systems of signs by means of expressions known as ''rhemes'', ''rhemata'', or ''relative terms''.  The treatment of relations by way of their corresponding relative terms affords a distinctive perspective on the subject, even though all angles of approach must ultimately converge on the same formal subject matter.

The '''logic of relatives''', short for the '''logic of relative terms''', is the study of [[relation (mathematics)|relation]]s as represented in symbolic forms known as ''rhemes'', ''rhemata'', or ''relative terms''.  The treatment of relations by way of their corresponding relative terms affords a distinctive perspective on the subject, even though all angles of approach must ultimately converge on the same formal subject matter.

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 [[Logic of Relatives (1870)|"Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole's Calculus of Logic" (1870)]].
