aboutlogic: premises #07 | Fixing Russell’s Paradox: The Birth of ZFC & Constructive Set Theory

from aboutlogic · host Deniz Sarikaya, Thorsten Altenkirch

Fixing Russell’s Paradox: The Birth of ZFC & Constructive Set Theory How did mathematicians fix Russell’s paradox and save set theory? In this aboutlogic: premises episode, Deniz and Thorsten explore the solutions that reshaped the foundations of mathematics. From Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZFC) axioms to constructive set theories (IZF, CZF). Discover how large cardinals, the continuum hypothesis, and the iterative conception of sets became central to modern set theory and why some mathematicians still prefer type theory for its structural and computational advantages.
