[catalogued under 4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 1. Set Theory]

Full Idea

The theory of types is a thing of the past. There is now nothing to choose between ZFC and NBG (Neumann-Bernays-Gödel). NF (Quine's) is a more specialized taste, but is a place to look if you want the universe.

Gist of Idea

Nowadays ZFC and NBG are the set theories; types are dead, and NF is only useful for the whole universe
