Subject: equality is beautiful
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 22:29:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1NTcBM-0003xK-Go@mailserv.mta.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <B3C24EA955FF0C4EA14658997CD3E25E370F5673@CAHIER.gst.uqam.ca>

Dear All

Many people seem to distrust the equality 
relation between the objects of a (large) category.
Is this a philosophical conundrum or a mathematical problem?

Can we define a notion of (large) category without supposing 
that its (large) set of objects has a diagonal?


Best,
André
