2 Bolzano's discussion of objects ‘of the same kind’, and of ‘parts’ of sets, is similar in content (and in incoherence, especially concerning intensions and membership vis-à-vis inclusion) to Schröder's theory of ‘consistent manifolds’, which I have discussed in my ‘Wiener on the logics of Russell and Schröder …’, Annals of science, xxxii (1975), 103–32.Google Scholar
