Talk:Relationism

Physics

I added a very brief description of the meaning of relationsim in physics. A more knowledgeable person should feel free to replace or edit this part of the entry. Mike 05:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I've added a few sentences on the Marburg School's understanding of relationism in philosophy, consistent with Mach. In many circles (especially in Germany) this is the main meaning of relationism while the one highlighted in the main article is specific to Christian philosophy, though still valid.

How is this religious at all?

I am here because the concept of relationism came up in studying Gottfried Liebniz, since he (a relationist) argued against Newton's (absolutist) assertions that absolute space and time were necessary in physics. I can see how this subject can and should be considered philosophical, but have no idea why this would be classified as sociological, and am absolutely perplexed that this is somehow religious or, even more shockingly, related to a specific religion. Does the word have other meanings that pertain to Christianity or something? Or should this be recategorized to be more general? --Qrystal (talk) 21:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Agree – Yes, the Christianity tag should go. For quite a while there was some content here about a kind of religiously-based Relationism but with no links or references, so I just deleted it.  —jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
