- In the 1920's Paul Finsler proposed a system of set theory in which
- a set of all sets is allowed. His system is not formal (in Hilbert's
- sense); the discussion of his system within the mathematical community
- was rather emotional and not free from personal animosities. In
- his system, Finsler showed incompleteness before Goedel.
- As far as I know, a serious and in depth study of his Finsler's set
- theory has yet to be done.
