Abstract

Russell’s letter to Frege of June 16, 1902 contains the famous paradox of the class of all classes which are not members of themselves as well as a second paradox of the predicates that cannot be predicated of themselves. The latter paradox arises out of Russell’s theory of classes and class concepts in Principles of Mathematics.

Key words： Russell’s Paradox; Paradox of Sets; Bertrand Russell; Gottlob Frege
