Synopsis
The genesis of set theory is a fascinating subject from the points of view both of history of ideas and manifestation of individual genius. And the story as it unfolds is unusually dramatic and charged with controversy arising not from any sordid quarrels about priority but from logical difficulties of deep philosophic import. This book sets out to give a systematic account of the evolution of the ideas and problems in analysis which made a theory of sets of points both necessary and possible and then traces the development from it of point set topology up to the publication of Hansdorff's Grundziige der Mengenlehre in 1914. The material is therefore classical but not of course definitive. A period of intense activity, largely dominated by the famous journal Fundamenta Mathematicae founded in 1920 in Warsaw, began immediately after the First World War and the end is not yet. ,
