Abstract

The concept of class is analyzed and it is concluded that a number is the number of a pure founded class. Some well-known definitions of numbers are analyzed and it is concluded that this analysis supports the thesis that numbers are conventional. Nevertheless, an argument is offered supporting the thesis that von Neumann's numbers are the numbers.

Keywords
