Abstract
In May 1901, for the first time, Russell presented an argument related to his ‘contradiction’ of the class of all classes which are not members of themselves. Later on, he began to regard some mathematical inconsistencies in Cantor’s work as contradictions (Russell’s term) rather than a fallacies or mistakes. Also at this time, he became aware of the possible existence of areas of conflict between certain aspects of the work of Burali-Forti and Cantor.
