Kockelman: Simple Relation

Zitat

„We consider something a simple relation only when we are ignorant of its inner workings, or when it works so perfectly that it disappears from view. Both ignorance and knowledge may thereby reduce a third to a second, a ground to a figure, or a mediator to an intermediary.“ (p. 37) #Kockelman #relation #ignorance #knowledge

Bourbaki: A Mathematical Theory

Zitat

„A mathematical theory (or simply a theory) contains rules which allow us to assert that certain assemblies of signs are terms or relations of the theory, and other rules which allow us to assert that certain assemblies are theorems of the theory.“ (p. 16) #Bourbaki #theory #relation #theorem
