Cobos Bueno, José M. (Author)
Four hundred years ago one of the greatest thinkers in the Middle Ages died, the universal Maimonides from Cordoba. Besides the influence exerted in the Christian thinkers, he also had influence for a long time due to hisway of exposition. In this work we show his thought is included in some of the paradoxes which emerge with the construction, by Cantor, of Set Theory. Especially the Burali-Forti's antinomy, which is closely related with the definition of undesignated bodies and the idea of the infinity, infinity in act, according to Cantor, like the pure intelligence, abstract body which, for Maimonides, contains itself like God.
...MoreDescription On the way that the thought of Maimonides is linked to some of the paradoxes in set theory.
