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.
Industry Reviews

Here is the first full-length study to do justice both to the mathematical importance of Cantor's work and to the philosophical ideas that governed it....The book is very well informed mathematically, yet much of Hallett's perceptive comment on and his patient and sympathetic interpretation of the philosophical ideas of Cantor and the other founders of set theory will be readily intelligible to nonspecialists, making the book of great interest to mathematician and philosopher alike.--Choice


Establishes a new plateau for historical comprehension of Cantor's monumental contribution to mathematics.--The American Mathematical Monthly
