Abstract
The first part of this construction of the foundations of set theory had the subtitle Sets and their Axioms. It appeared in 1926 in the Mathematische Zeitschrift [1926b]. The second part was to have treated the number systems. Since the first part met with such a lack of understanding, it seemed preferable to let these investigations, concerning the natural numbers, the continuum and the transfinite ordinal numbers, appear as separate publications ([1933], [1941b], [1954]).
