doctrine of ordinal numbers permits the members
of the series to be objects of any kind, it follows that
it permits them to be multitudes. Thus the doctrine
of multitude is nothing but a special application
of the doctrine of ordinal numbers. But the special
objects of its series have a special character which
permits them to be studied from a special point
of view; and that point of view is a logical point of view.
