Class (philosophy)

In philosophy, a class is a kind of set.

Definition

Typical definitions of class:

• It is included in an extensional definition of the whole set (a list of set members)

• It matches an intensional definition of one set member

Types

By contrast, a "type" is an intensional definition; it is a description that is sufficiently generalized to fit every member of a set.
