Russell's paradox is a fundamental problem in set theory, discovered by the philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell in 1901. It arises within naive set theory, where sets can be defined by any property or condition. The paradox challenges the notion of a "set of all sets." To illustrate the paradox, consider the set \( R \) defined as the set of all sets that do not contain themselves as a member.
