Abstract
As we have already seen in the previous chapter on the elements of logic, by a set (or class) we understand the collection of all those “things” (in this context normally called elements or individuals) having a property which is capable of being described in one or another way. The elements in question are normally abstract in nature (at least in mathematics), but this need by no means be the case. Sets are indicated by Gothic capitals, elements of sets by small Greek letters (see also p. 66).
