Quine's set theory, New Foundations, has often been treated as an
anomaly in the history and philosophy of set theory. In this book,
Sean Morris shows that it is in fact well-motivated, emerging in a
natural way from the early development of set theory. Morris
introduces and explores the notion of set theory as explication:
the view that there is no single correct axiomatization of set
theory, but rather that the various axiomatizations all serve to
explicate the notion of set and are judged largely according to
pragmatic criteria. Morris also brings out the important interplay
between New Foundations, Quine's philosophy of set theory, and his
philosophy more generally. We see that his early technical work in
logic foreshadows his later famed naturalism, with his philosophy
of set theory playing a crucial role in his primary philosophical
project of clarifying our conceptual scheme and specifically its
logical and mathematical components.
