8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 1. Nature of Relations

16659	Relations do not add anything to reality, though they are real aspects of the world [Olivi]
	Full Idea: It does not seem that a relation adds anything real to that on which it is founded, but only makes for another real aspect belonging to the same thing. It is real since an aspect exists in re, not solely in the intellect, but it is not another thing.
	From: Peter John Olivi (Summa quaestionum super Sententias [1290], II.54), quoted by Robert Pasnau - Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 12.4
