ABSTRACT

For the intelligence of what follows it is important to distinguish

between structural relations of the kind shown in Chapters 1 and

7 and inferential relations, as already mentioned in Section 7.3.

Although structural relations can be to a certain extent considered

kinds of inferences (since they show how a statement can be derived

from other statements), the converse is not necessarily true, that is,

inferential relations do not always possess an insightful structural

meaning.
