Deduction First Principles Introduction The Great Debate One More Reason for Studying Cantor's Set Theory "Very Few Understood It" Finite Cardinal Arithmetic Relative Sizes of Finite Sets Finite Ordinal Arithmetic Standard Ordered Sets (SOSs) Finite Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers Cantor (101) Theorem Proof Corollary Proof Transfinite Cardinal Numbers The Continuum Hypothesis Transfinite Cardinal Arithmetic Lemma Transfinite Ordinal Numbers Examples of Well-Ordered and Not Well-Ordered Sets Transfinite Ordinal Arithmetic Extended SOSs Lemma Proof The Paradoxes (a.k.a. Antimonies) Three Directions From Aristotle to Hume to Hilbert British Empiricism versus Continental Rationalism Who Created What? Cantor Reconsidered Brouwer's Objections Axiomatic Set Theory Peano's Axioms (PAs) Hilbert's Programs Whitehead and Russell Zermelo's Axioms The "Axiom of Choice" The Trichotomy Equivalent to the Axiom of Choice Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) Thoralf Skolem (1887-1863) 15.
