 **Donald Martin** (UCLA): *Cantor's Grundlagen*

 Cantor’s early (1883) *Grundlagen einer allgemeinen Mannigfaltigkeitslehre* is badly organized and has  
important errors and omissions. Nevertheless it is rich in content, and its concepts are in some ways  
superior to Cantor’s later ones.

 I will mainly concentrate on a few aspects of *Grundlagen*: (1) what might be called Cantor’s quasiaxiomatic,  
iterative account of ordinal numbers; (2) the role that something like a Replacement Axiom  
plays in this account; (3) the relation between the *Grundlagen* notion of absolute infinity and Cantor’s  
later notion of inconsistent multiplicities.
