5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 6. Relations in Logic
10036 In 'Principia' a new abstract theory of relations appeared, and was applied [Russell/Whitehead, by Gödel]
     Full Idea: In 'Principia' a young science was enriched with a new abstract theory of relations, ..and not only Cantor's set theory but also ordinary arithmetic and the theory of measurement are treated from this abstract relational standpoint.
     From: report of B Russell/AN Whitehead (Principia Mathematica [1913]) by Kurt Gödel - Russell's Mathematical Logic p.448
     A reaction: I presume this is accounting for relations in terms of ordered sets.
