Extending Cantor’s Paradox a Critique of Infinity and Selfreference
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines infinity and self-reference from a critique perspective. Starting from an extension of Cantor Paradox that suggests the inconsistency of the actual infinite, the paper makes a short review of the controversial history of infinity and suggests several indicators of its inconsistency. Semantic self-reference is also examined from the same critique perspective by comparing it with self-referent sets. The platonic scenario of infinity and selfreference is finally criticized from a biological and neurobiological perspective.

Intertwining metaphysics and mathematics: the development of Georg Cantor’s set theory 1871-1887
This article discusses Georg Cantor’s philosophical defence of the existence of actual infinities in mathematics. The metaphysical background to Cantor’s argument is documented, emphasizing the philosophical references in Cantor’s main work, Grundlagen (1883). Cantor’s engagement with the history of philosophy, particularly the writings of Spinoza and Leibniz on infinity, is also documented. Fi...
متن کاملBertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...

Es handelt sich um die Antinomie der Menge aller durch Addition (Vereinigung) und Selbstbelegung erz...
متن کاملThe Banach-Tarski Paradox
What is a set? In the late 19th century, Georg Cantor was the first to formally investigate this question, thus founding the study of set theory as a mathematical discipline. Cantor’s definition of a set consisted of two intuitive principles. The first, Extensionality, asserts that two sets are equal exactly when they have the same members; the second, Comprehension, asserts that from any condi...
متن کاملMeasuring Fractals by Infinite and Infinitesimal Numbers
Traditional mathematical tools used for analysis of fractals allow one to distinguish results of self-similarity processes after a finite number of iterations. For example, the result of procedure of construction of Cantor’s set after two steps is different from that obtained after three steps. However, we are not able to make such a distinction at infinity. It is shown in this paper that infin...
