In philosophy, a class is a kind of set.
Contents
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.
