Abstract

An essential issue that has to be addressed is, what is Russell's Paradox, and why does it matter? The reader must first have a basic understanding of what Naive Set Theory is. In a nutshell, the Naive Set Theory was founded on the so-called Naive Comprehension Schema, which states that a set is a collection of items that meet a certain condition. there is an assumption being made here, and that assumption is that "set" refers to V, which is the collection of all other sets. As a result of the contradiction, we were motivated to reevaluate our understanding of what a "set" really entails. Mathematicians at the beginning of the 20th century were taken aback by this discovery, which led to the Third Mathematical Crisis. This study will focus on this crisis with possible solutions and predict some future outcomes.
