Examples

“Kurt Gödel is reported to have⟳ remarked ‘‘There never were any set-theoretic paradoxes, but the property-theoretic paradoxes are still unresolved.’’ The idea behind the first part of his remark⟳ is presumably that the notion of set⟳ was hierarchical from the start⟳, so that it should have⟳ been obvious all along that there was no Russell set⟳ (in the mathematical sense⟳ of ‘set⟳’). The idea behind the second part is that this obvious resolution of Russell’s ‘‘paradox’’ for sets simply doesn’t carry⟳ over to the paradox for properties.”
