Template:No footnotes In set theory, a field of mathematics, the Burali-Forti paradox demonstrates that naïvely constructing "the set of all ordinal numbers" leads to a contradiction and therefore shows an antinomy in a system that allows its construction. It is named after Cesare Burali-Forti, who discovered it in 1897.

Stated in terms of von Neumann ordinals

Let $\mathrm{\Omega }$ be the "set" of all ordinals (it is not, in fact, a set). Since $\mathrm{\Omega }$ carries all properties of an ordinal number, it is an ordinal number itself. We can therefore construct its successor $\mathrm{\Omega }+1$, which is strictly greater than $\mathrm{\Omega }$. However, this ordinal number must be an element of $\mathrm{\Omega }$, since $\mathrm{\Omega }$ contains all ordinal numbers. Finally, we arrive at

$\mathrm{\Omega }<\mathrm{\Omega }+1$ and $\mathrm{\Omega }+1<\mathrm{\Omega }$.

Stated more generally

The version of the paradox above is anachronistic, because it presupposes the definition of the ordinals due to John von Neumann, under which each ordinal is the set of all preceding ordinals, which was not known at the time the paradox was framed by Burali-Forti. Here is an account with fewer presuppositions: suppose that we associate with each well-ordering an object called its "order type" in an unspecified way (the order types are the ordinal numbers). The "order types" (ordinal numbers) themselves are well-ordered in a natural way, and this well-ordering must have an order type $\mathrm{\Omega }$. It is easily shown in naïve set theory (and remains true in ZFC but not in New Foundations) that the order type of all ordinal numbers less than a fixed $\alpha$ is $\alpha$ itself. So the order type of all ordinal numbers less than $\mathrm{\Omega }$ is $\mathrm{\Omega }$ itself. But this means that $\mathrm{\Omega }$, being the order type of a proper initial segment of the ordinals, is strictly less than the order type of all the ordinals, but the latter is $\mathrm{\Omega }$ itself by definition. This is a contradiction.

If we use the von Neumann definition, under which each ordinal is identified as the set of all preceding ordinals, the paradox is unavoidable: the offending proposition that the order type of all ordinal numbers less than a fixed $\alpha$ is $\alpha$ itself must be true. The collection of von Neumann ordinals, like the collection in the Russell paradox, cannot be a set in any set theory with classical logic. But the collection of order types in New Foundations (defined as equivalence classes of well-orderings under similarity) is actually a set, and the paradox is avoided because the order type of the ordinals less than $\mathrm{\Omega }$ turns out not to be $\mathrm{\Omega }$.

Resolution of the paradox

Modern axiomatic set theory such as ZF and ZFC circumvents this antinomy by simply not allowing construction of sets with unrestricted comprehension terms like "all sets with the property $P$", as it was for example possible in Gottlob Frege's axiom system. New Foundations uses a different solution.
