| Empty Set - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Empty set: an empty set is a set without an element. Notation ∅ or {}. There is only one empty set, since without an existing element there is no way to specify a specification of the set. The empty set can be specified as such that each element of the empty set is not identical with itself {x x unequal x}. Since there is no such object, the set must be empty. The empty set is not the number zero, but zero indicates the cardinality of the empty set._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
