In naive set theory, Russell's paradox shows that the "set" [itex]S:=\{X:X \in X\}[/itex] satisfies the weird property [itex]S \in S[/itex] and [itex]S\notin S[/itex].
How does the set theory of Zermelo and Fraenkel get rid of this "paradox"? I.e., which axioms or theorem prohibit S above to be a set?
Thank you.
