|
13034
|
Replacement: ∀x∈A ∃!y φ(x,y) → ∃Y ∀X∈A ∃y∈Y φ(x,y) [Kunen]

|
4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 5. Conceptions of Set / a. Sets as existing
7785
|
The use of plurals doesn't commit us to sets; there do not exist individuals and collections [Boolos]
|
4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 5. Conceptions of Set / d. Naïve logical sets
10485
|
Naïve sets are inconsistent: there is no set for things that do not belong to themselves [Boolos]
|
4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 5. Conceptions of Set / e. Iterative sets
10484
|
The iterative conception says sets are formed at stages; some are 'earlier', and must be formed first [Boolos]
|
4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 5. Conceptions of Set / f. Limitation of Size
13547
|
Limitation of Size is weak (Fs only collect is something the same size does) or strong (fewer Fs than objects) [Boolos, by Potter]
