| Abstract: | Felix Hausdorff's 1914 monograph "Grundzüge der Mengenlehre" (Foundations of Set Theory) marks the beginning of modern set theory:
- it is the first comprehensive presentation of set theory as a mature and rich mathematical field, untroubled by philosophical worries about infinity and paradoxes; - it introduces fundamental notions and theories that have been crucial for the further development of set theory and its applications, notably the axioms for topological spaces; - even today, a considerable part of research in set theory has direct links to Hausdorff's work. In my talk I shall describe Hausdorff's book and locate it in the history of set theory. I shall also present his views on the foundations of mathematics and set theory. |
