'...the first full-length study of Cantor that does justice both to the mathematical importance of his work and to the philosophical ideas which governed it...'
Professor Michael Dummett, All Souls College, Oxford
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.
