Summary
Cantor’s ideas formed the basis for set theory and also for the mathematical treatment of the concept of infinity. The philosophical and heuristic framework he developed had a lasting effect on modern mathematics, and is the recurrent theme of this volume. Hallett explores Cantor’s ideas and, in particular, their ramifications for Zermelo-Frankel set theory.
