Size and Infinite Sets

Abstract

This thesis revolves around the unorthodox paper of Whittle (2015). Whittle’s paper is unorthodox because it does not conform with the Cantorian orthodox position regarding set cardinality and set size. We will explain some key concepts necessary to understand Whittle’s paper and the analysis thereof. In this analysis we will offer some criticism on his arguments. We will conclude among other things that finite concepts are always at play in the human mind and this should be taken into account when researching beyond finite concepts.
