Re: is there a set of all ordinals

Cantor did take certain collections (or whatever German word he
used), such as the set of all sets and its cardinality (if I recall
correctly) to be "inconsistent entities" (or some expression like
that), but I don't know whether a set of all ordinals was one of
them.

For Cantor, the totality of ordinals was the prototypical inconsistent
multiplicity.
