Axiom of Comprehension

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
(mathematics)Axiom of Comprehension - An axiom schema of set theory which states: if P(x) is a property then

x : P

is a set. I.e. all the things with some property form a set.

Acceptance of this axiom leads to Russell's Paradox which is why Zermelo set theory replaces it with a restricted form.
