Abstract
This chapter starts on an abstract level, by dealing with classes and their properties. As such it belongs to model theory (and general theory of categories). However our approach is very concrete and we deal with classes of graphs although many of the concepts and results carry over a more general setting. This will be made explicit in Sect. 5.8.
Do classes matter? The class struggle within graph theory.
