I'm looking for an intro into set theory for a very non mathematical person. Everything I find uses numbers, sets of sets of sets, and such things.

Did the mathematicians loose their marbles? :-)

I mean, explaining sets using marbles should be an easy way to introduce the concepts. Only if those are understood, it may be sensible to go to Hilberts hotel, Russells paradox, and maybe, just maybe to Cantors diagonal argument.

Suggestions welcome.

@zerology I think this book of math for philosophy might work, it is less mathy than many and is written with an eye to conceptual matters. https://ericsteinhart.com/books/TOOLS/tools-home.html
More Precisely

All the math you need to do philosophy.

@anteagle Cool. Thank you!
