8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 1. Nature of Relations
A relation is a feature of multiple objects taken together [Sider]
     Full Idea: A relation is just a feature of multiple objects taken together.
     From: Theodore Sider (Logic for Philosophy [2010], 1.8)
     A reaction: Appealingly simple, especially for a logician, who can then just list the relevant objects as members of a set, and the job is done. But if everyone to the left of me is also taller than me, this won't quite do.
