LesniewskiVs: those classes do not exist (pro nominalism). Def collective class/mereology/Lesniewski: a collective class are any (arbitrary) summaries, e.g. not only teaspoons, but also a collection of handles of teaspoons, as part of the set of teaspoons. Solution to Russell's paradox: mereological (collective) classes (clusters, sets) always contain themselves as an element. >Classes, >Sets, >Mereologcal sum, >Partition, >Mereology.}, note = { Simons I P.
