Synopsis

This text discusses the emergence and development of the notion of set during the period 1850-1950. Instead of focusing directly on the development of set theory, in the technical sense of the expression, it addresses a wider issues such as: why did German mathematicians pay attention to the notion of set?; what were their motivations?; how did set theory turn into a branch of mathematics?; and how did our present conception of it become widely accepted?
