candidates themselves. The concept of set is called upon for this purpose, AB) where the view is taken that a set is somethingobtainable from the integers (orsome other well-defined object) by iterated application of the operation “set
of” ([9]. p. 180). A special emphasis is put on the maximizing implications
of that concept, to the effect that axioms “stating the existence of still further
iterations of the operation set of",like “small” large cardinal hypotheses.
are regarded as fully legitimate candidates for new set-theoretic axioms.
[9].however,does not rule out the possibility that, beyond the concept of
set, there may be other motivations that succeed in indicating reasonable
strategics for extending ZFC. In fact it is conjectured that “there may exist
besides the ordinary axioms [...] other (hitherto unknown) axioms of set
theory which a more profound understanding of the concepts underlying
logic and mathematics would enable us to recognize as implied by these
concepts”([9]. p. 182). The suggestion is also made, in [10], that some
maximum property of the system of sets may be devised that is not directly
suggested by the concept of set, yet may work as a reasonable new axiom for
set theory ("[...] from an axiom in some sense opposite to this one [V=L]
the negation of Cantor's conjecture could perhaps be derived. I am thinking
of an axiom which [...] would state some maximum property of the system
of all sets […]”. [10]. p.478).
