| Description | The foundation of all mathematics is a fairly narrow area called set theory. Understanding these sets therefore plays a key role in the philosophy of mathematics. The traditional concept of a set as a set of elements that have a common property leads to the Russell paradox. Incurvati therefore proposes an iterative conception of sets that not only avoids these difficulties, but also preserves all essential properties. |
