Cantor's diagonal procedure and set theory (history of science and logical contexts). (English)
0 references
The authors argue that the Cantorian diagonal argument, which shows that the power of any set is smaller than the power of its power set, is defective from the point of view of Aristotelian logic. But their arguments are not convincing, and look themselves erroneous, particularly in the last paragraph on p. 316.
