Talk:Axiom of empty set

Source πŸ“

1978:. If this is not assumed, then one needs an additional axiom, e.g. stating that for any thing x, there is a set {x}, in order to get the existence of at least one set from only the resources of FOL. Since most presentations of set theory want to be free from urelements, it is easiest to take the existence of the empty set as axiom and to formulate Infinity in terms of the empty set. Devlin, Mendelson, Suppes, and others do this. Smullyan and Fitting (Set Theory and the Continuum Problem) are sloppy here, since their Theorem 1.1 and its proof depends on their being a class to begin with, which does not follow from anything they say previously (including what they say about "V"). Stoll (Set theory and Its Logic) is equally sloppy, taking "there is a set" as a "temporary axiom" but never replacing that axiom with anything else that allows one to remove the "temporary" qualification. I haven't looked at other literature, but it would be interesting to do so! 84: 2137:. If we formulate it as it is formulated in various wikipedia entries, then it already depends on the existence of the empty set, which itself cannot follow from Infinity in this case. So one still needs an axiom implying that there is a set, independent of Infinity, unless one takes the above formulation implying the existence of two sets, one of which need not be the empty set. But that is in any case equivalent to asserting the existence of a set A and then using that in the axiom of Infinity. 74: 53: 2373:. Given any set, we can form the empty set using the axiom of separation. This is why the axiom of the empty set is often not included by authors, because it is provable from separation. Neither of the two most common references, Jech and Kunen, include the axiom of the empty set. It's mostly used, in my experience, in pedagogical contexts where not all of the axioms are assumed from the beginning, and in which the students are not familiar with formal logic. β€”Β Carl 2403:
an axiom implying the existence of at least one set. In some theories there are urelements and most axioms are stated as (universally quantified) conditionals: if x and y are sets, there is a set whose members are precisely x and y, etc. (Suppes's version of ZFC is like this.) As such, ExT (e.g. TΒ := x=x) does not imply the existence of a set, so one needs an axiom implying the existence of at least one set.
22: 2031:, provable in logic, means "there exists a set" in ZFC, and it is impossible to speak about "things that are not sets" in ZFC. This may not be true for other set theories (e.g., in set theories with urelements where sets are only objects satisfying a special predicate), but that’s no reason to delete a piece of information applicable to mainstream set theory.β€” 1937:
I was not aware of any distinction between "free logic" and first order predicate logic until you mentioned it here. I was aware that some people used what I considered to be invalid and sloppy logic. But I had developed my own rigorous version which I use personally. However, it is a kind of natural

The completeness of this (and other) calculi heavily relies on using formulas which are not sentences (whether they are considered valid standalone propositions or not), in the same way as I used it in the modus ponens example above. I wonder whether you know a calculus for free logic approaching the

All the trouble necessary to modify the usual logic only serves to justify another complication, viz. addition of an axiom. More precisely, it is even worse: it's purpose is so that

implicitly assume that something exists. However, I consider them to be wrong, a hang-over from the days when "For all" was assumed to imply "Some". What about a model whose universe is the empty set? It contains no elements. So your version of logic would disallow it. But I see no reason to exclude
2402:
It depends on how the theory is formulated, and what theory we are talking about. In some theories there are sets and classes and, while one can prove there is a class from FOL alone, one cannot use this to prove there is a set. (I believe Mendelson's version of NBG is like this.) As such one needs

ZFC is a particular set of axioms in first-order logic. The language for these axioms has only one type of variable, and thus each interpretation (model) has only one type of object. The jargon for this is that ZFC is a "single sorted" theory. This is what is meant by saying there is only "one type
198:
It's the other way around. The "axiom" of empty set is a hang-over from early 20th century, when the now familiar logic was not yet spelled out formally. Empty models are disallowed for good reasons, their presence instantly breaks too many things to be worth the trouble, such as modus ponens, the
2047:
What does it mean to say that ZFC has only type of object? Do you mean that its intended interpretation includes only one type of object? True, but ZFC does not demand this. The point is this. None of the non-existential axioms of ZFC entail that there exists a set. Moreover, Infinity entails the

1997:": This may be true in principle, but this assumption is built in the most common axiomatic set theories like ZFC. For example, ZFC is a theory in single-sorted first-order logic, and as such it has only one type of objects. These objects are informally called "sets" for clarity. The statement 2146:
If in ZFC-minus-existential-axioms one could already prove the existence of a set from the bare resources of FOL alone, all these brilliant set theorists keen on theoretical economy would not go out of their way to redundantly postulate as axiom the existence of a set.

I rewrote the last paragraph of the article in a way which acknowledges the possibility that logic could force the existence of some set. But since some set theories may not have separation as an axiom schema, empty set may still be required.

I fail to see how what you wrote about the axiom of infinity has to do with anything. The article already explicitly states that the argument may or may not work depending on the exact formulation of the axiom, which is what you appear to be

That sentence should be stronger, or else removed entirely, because it seems to imply that there are some people who find the existence of an empty set controversial, and axiomatisations of set theory that don't include empty sets.
