Second order logic and Set Theory Redux
Abstract
We argue that second order logic is a weaker form of set theory, despite the fact that the former is formalized in a second order langauge and the latter in a first order language. Along the way, we review the history of interactions between second order logic and set theory, as well as some modern trends.
