Kinds of concepts

History and Overview 2011-12-30 v1 Logic

Abstract

The central focus is on clarifying the distinction between sets and proper classes. To this end we identify several categories of concepts (surveyable, definite, indefinite), and we attribute the classical set theoretic paradoxes to a failure to appreciate the distinction between surveyability and definiteness.
