5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 1. Quantification

14137	'Any' is better than 'all' where infinite classes are concerned [Russell]
	Full Idea: The word 'any' is preferable to the word 'all' where infinite classes are concerned.
	From: Bertrand Russell (The Principles of Mathematics [1903], §284)
	A reaction: The reason must be that it is hard to quantify over 'all' of the infinite members, but it is easier to say what is true of any one of them.
