I 217
Relation/Geach: instead of a class: solution for problems: a class cannot be an object (>paradoxes).
>Paradoxes, >Classes/Geach.
Relation: E.g. a knife is positioned next to each plate - E.g. Father-Son-Grandson: same relation, but there is no common object - (sets must not be treated as an object).
>Object, >Set.
I 249
Relation/Geach: "higher" is logically the same relation to whether one means houses or sounds - but that does not mean that we only have to learn one relation.
>Identification, >Identity, >Levels/Order, >Description levels.
I 294
Relation/GeachVsTwo-names-theory/TNT: for them, there is no relation > Ockham: therefore, there are only relative terms for it: as names of things:
Problem: "Father of Solomon," "Son of Isaac," how would that be distinguished between "Father of Isaac", "Son of Solomon"?.
Ockham/Trinity: because he rejects relations in rebus, Ockham cannot do anything about the fact that it is contradictory that a thing is one and three at the same time.
Thomas AquinasVsOckham: Thomas can do this: for him "res" is transcendental (transversal): at the same time res absoluta and applicable to relations.
>William of Ockham, >Thomas Aquinas.
I 318f
Relation/relational propositions/Geach: it is false that such propositions could not be analyzed according to subject/predicate. - As if no predication was made, but only a relation between A and B was shown.
Then the two sentences a) and b) by Thomas could not be distinguished.
Geach: this shows that access to relations cannot be established via the word "between".
