In the second place, the word acquaintance is designed to emphasise, more than the word presentation, the relational character of the fact with which we are concerned. — Mysticism and Logic and Other Essays, Bertrand Russell
And if we cannot prove this, we also cannot prove the unreality of space and time and matter and evil, for this is deduced by Hegel from the fragmentary and relational character of these things. — The Problems of Philosophy, Bertrand Russell
This means, so far as practical working out is concerned, that we adopt the relational theory; for in practice the refusal to assume points and instants has the same effect as the denial of them. — Our Knowledge of the External World as a Field for Scientific Method in Philosophy, Bertrand Russell
