Tarski’s axiom
Tarski proposed the following axiom for set theory:
For every set , there exists a set which enjoys the following properties:
- •
is an element of
- •
For every element , every subset of is also an element of .
- •
For every element , the power set
of is also an element of .
- •
Every subset of whose cardinality is less than the cardinality of is an element of .
This axiom implies the axiom of choice. It also implies the existence of inaccessible cardinal
numbers.
