Russell's paradox is the theory that states: If you have a set of sets that do not have themselves, then that set must have itself, because it doesn't have itself. However, if it has itself, it then has itself, meaning it cannot have itself. This makes logical usages of sets of sets that don't contain themselves somewhat difficult. It was developed by Bertrand Russell.
