alio-relative, n. Philos.|ˌælɪəʊˈrɛlətɪv| [f. L. ali-us other + -o + relative a. and n.] Peirce's term for ‘a relation which no term can have to itself’ (see quot. 1873). Hence as adj. = irreflexive a.
1873C. S. Peirce in Mem. Amer. Acad. Arts & Sci. IX. ii. 369 Simple relatives are divisible into those which contain elements of the form (A:A) and those which do not. The former express relations such as a thing may have to itself, the latter (as cousin of ―, hater of ―) relations which nothing can have to itself. The former may be termed self-relatives, the latter alio-relatives. 1920B. Russell Introd. Math. Philos. (ed. 2) iv. 33 It often happens that a relation is an aliorelative without being asymmetrical. 1934Mind XLIII. 224 This is also guaranteed by my definition..provided R [sc. a relation] is assumed alio-relative. |
