Abstract
The calculus of relations bears the same relation to the theory of dyadic predicates (§ 13) that the calculus of classes (§ 15) does to the theory of monadic predicates (§ 12). It is the newest and also the most important part of modern logic. Developed originally for the foundations of mathematics, it has gone beyond this science to embrace the whole of knowledge. Despite the fact that it occupies a major place in the treatises of logic, it is still relatively little developed.
