Prof. Palma: the Russellian set (which gave so much grief to
Frege's V ax) is the set of all set which aren't members of
themselves. Contradiction follows.
An aside: are there different kinds of contradiction?
Contradiction used here postulates an infinite regress. Is
this the same *kind* of contradiction one would find in
division by zero? Or the square-root of negative one? After
all, i is very useful. Do philosophers distinguish degrees
of contradiction? Where does aporia fit in?
Perplexed,
Eric
