5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 5. Paradoxes in Set Theory / a. Set theory paradoxes

9932	The paradoxes no longer seem crucial in critiques of set theory [Burgess/Rosen]
	Full Idea: Recent commentators have de-emphasised the set paradoxes because they play no prominent part in motivating the most articulate and active opponents of set theory, such as Kronecker (constructivism) or Brouwer (intuitionism), or Weyl (predicativism).
	From: JP Burgess / G Rosen (A Subject with No Object [1997], III.C.1.b)
	A reaction: This seems to be a sad illustration of the way most analytical philosophers have to limp along behind the logicians and mathematicians, arguing furiously about problems that have largely been abandoned.
