최근 <수학기초론>이란 용어는 Burali-Forti paradox 이후 족(class)과 집합(set) 개념을 이해하려는 시도에서 출발한 20세기적 문제에 적용되고 있다. 이 글에서는 그 해결책으로 제시된 주의ㆍ주장 중 논리적인 모순을 해결하기 위한 Russel의 논리주의적 공리론에 바탕을 두고 살펴보려고 한다. 제 2장에서는 무한의 심연 속에 웅크리고 있는 집합론에서의 역설과 발생 원인에 대하여 살펴보았다. 제 3장에서는 공리론적 집합론 중에서 러셀의 유형론과 그것을 단순화시킨 현대의 유형론을 살펴보고, ZF 집합론과 ZF 집합론의 연장인 처치 집합론의 기본 공리를 살펴보았다.

본 논문의 목적은 집합론이 메타논리학에 필수불가결하다는 주장, 즉 필수불가결성 논제에 반대하는 것이다. 만일 집합론이 메타논리학에 필수불가결하다면, 집합론을 포함하게 되는 논리적 탐구는 논리학의 가장 근본적인 특성들인 주제중립성과 보편적 적용가능성을 결여하게 되기 때문이다. 논리학의 주제중립성은 논리학의 명제들이 개별 과학과 같은 특정한 지식 분야에 국한되지 않는다는 것을 말하며, 논리학의 보편적 적용가능성은 논리학의 명제들과 추론 규칙들이 모든 과학 분야들과 합리적 담론들에서 사용될 수 있다는 것을 말한다. 나아가 주제중립성과 보편적 적용가능성을 지니기 위해서는, 논리학을 기술하는 메타논리적 용어들과 개념들 역시 이러한 특성들을 지녀야만 한다. 하지만 필수불가결성 논제를 받아들이게 되면, 우리는 논리학이 적용되는 모든 분야에서 집합론의 용어들과 집합론적 개념들이 필수불가결하다는 것을 받아들여야만 한다. 그리고 이는 분명 불합리한 일이다. 필수불가결성 논제가 그럴듯하지 않다는 것을 보이기 위해서 나는 집합과 관련된 존재론적 문제를 살펴볼 것이다. 이러한 탐구는 집합이 어떤 식으로 이해되든지 간에 존재론적으로 보수적인 "논리적 존재자" 로 간주되기 어렵다는 것을 보여줄 것이다.

This paper aims to scrutinize the possibility of mereology as philosophically satisfiable metalogic. Motivation for this is straightforward. As I see, a traditional approach to metalogic presented in the name of mathematical logic posits the existence of mathematical entities such as sets, functions, models, etc. to give definitions of logical concepts like logical consequence. As a result, whenever logic is used in any individual sciences, this set-theoretical metalogic cannot but add these mathematical entities to the domain of them. This fact makes this approach contradict to the ontological conservativeness of logic. Mereology, however, has been alleged to be ontologically innocent, while it is a formal system very similar to set theory. So it may well be that some people thought of mereology as a good substitute for set theoretic metalanguage and concepts for ontologically neutral metalogic. Unfortunately, when we look into argument for the ontological innocence of mereology, we can find that mereological entities such as mereological sums or fusions are not ontologically neutral. Thus we can conclude that mereological approach to metalogic is not promising at all.

Human being has attempted to solve the problem of imperfect knowledge for a long time. In 1982 Pawlak proposed the rough set theory to manipulate the problem in the area of artificial intelligence. The rough set theory has two interesting properties: one is that a rough set is considered as distinct sets according to distinct knowledge bases, and the other is that distinct rough sets are considered as one same set in a certain knowledge base. This leads to a significant philosophical interpretation: a concept (or an event) may be understood as different ones from different perspectives, while different concepts (or events) may be understood as a same one in a certain perspective. This paper claims that such properties of rough set theory produce a mathematical model to support critical realism and theory ladenness of observation in the philosophy of science.

We compare the approaches to natural numbers and the induction principles in Frege's Grundgesetze and in systems thereafter. We start with an illustration of Frege's approach and then explain the use of induction principles in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory and in modern type theories such as Calculus of Inductive Constructions. A comparison among the different approaches to induction principles is also given by analyzing them in respect of predicativity and impredicativity.

The subset selection approach introduced by Gupta plays an important role in the multiple decision procedures. For the normal means problem with common unknown variance, some operating characteristics of the selection procedure have been investigated via Monte Carlo simulation. Also some properties including efficiencies of the selection procedure are examined when the data are contaminated.

In this paper, we survey the history of search for axiomatic set theory and show that ${\exists}U(0{\in}U{\wedge}{\forall}x(x{\in}U{\leftrightarrow}{\exists}z(z{\in}U{\wedge}{\forall}y(y{\in}x{\rightarrow}y{\subseteq}z))){\rightarrow}$ ZR.

This study investigated the empty set which is one of the mathematical objects. We inquired some misconceptions about empty set and the background of imposing empty set. Also we studied historical background of the introduction of empty set and the axiomatic system of Set theory. We investigated the nature of mathematical object through studying empty set, pure conceptual entity. In this study we study about the existence of empty set by investigating Alian Badiou's ontology known as based on the axiomatic set theory. we attempted to explain the relation between simultaneous equations and sets. Thus we pondered the meaning of the existence of empty set. Finally we commented about the thoughts of sets from a different standpoint and presented the meaning of axiomatic and philosophical aspect of mathematics.
