Friedrich Waismann Suchen und Finden in der Mathematik 1938 in Kursbuch 8 Mathematik 1967

Relations/Waismann: How are relations possible? If the relationship aRb is present, the situation consists of three parts.
To the two terms of the relation and the relation itself. But the terms a and b must themselves again be linked with the relation R, otherwise the fact would fall into three separate terms.
>Complex.
It thus appears that there is a need for further relations which connect a and b to R, a type of mortar. Infinite regress.
>Relation/Kant.
Waismann: such a question appears to be the essence or the structure of reality, whereas it is evoked only by the mist around our concepts. This is also caused by our own language.
>Concepts, >Meaning, >Sense.
