Quotations
89 ;;Quote: principle of abstraction--given any condition, there is a class of those members satisfying the condition
| 89+;;Quote: abstraction leads to Russell's paradox, (.thereExists.x)((x.in.x).equiv. ~(x.in.x))
| 89+;;Quote: Russell's theory of types avoids Russell's paradox by stratified formulas; e.g., .in. only occurs in contexts of the form n .in. n+1
| 92 ;;Quote: avoid Russell's paradox by restricting abstraction to stratified conditions that do not reference the abstract class
| 92+;;Quote: avoid Russell's paradox by separate rules for class existence and elementhood
