Difference between Paradox and Set theory

Paradox vs. Set theory

A paradox is a statement that, despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, leads to an apparently self-contradictory or logically unacceptable conclusion. Set theory is a branch of mathematical logic that studies sets, which informally are collections of objects.

Similarities between Paradox and Set theory

Paradox and Set theory have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antinomy, Circular definition, Oxford University Press, Russell's paradox, Set (mathematics).

Antinomy

Antinomy (Greek ἀντί, antí, "against, in opposition to", and νόμος, nómos, "law") refers to a real or apparent mutual incompatibility of two laws.

Russell's paradox

In the foundations of mathematics, Russell's paradox (also known as Russell's antinomy), discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, showed that some attempted formalizations of the naïve set theory created by Georg Cantor led to a contradiction.
