Plato’s Phaedo Theory of Relations

Abstract

Here is a fragment of an investigation into Plato’s Phaedo General Theory of Forms, Relations, and Particulars. Here I report on two small related discoveries. First, I offer the historico-philosophical report that in the Phaedo Plato did put forward a theory of relations and relational facts, and I set forth that theory. Second, I offer the purely philosophical result that such a theory is logically sound and ontologically viable.
