Slow Read Options --- Logic of Relatives 1870

Peircers,

Another paper well worth our study would be Peirce's 1870 "Logic of Relatives".

Peirce, C.S. (1870), "Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives,
Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole's Calculus of Logic",
Memoirs of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 9, 317–378, 26 January 1870.
Reprinted, Collected Papers (CP 3.45–149), Chronological Edition (CE 2, 359–429).

LOR 1970 gives a full array of Peirce's most basic insights in their clearest
and most succinct form.  More than that, it supplies us with the logical tools
that we need in order to succeed at the rest of his program, comprehending the
ways of signs, the logic of inquiry, and so on.  If this work had been properly
appreciated in its time, many of the dead ends that bogged down logical progress
in later years could have been avoided.

Here are some notes on LOR 1870 that I started a few years back:

I made a concerted effort to flesh out the abstractions with concrete examples,
but I have gotten only into the foothills of the paper so far.

Regards,

Jon
