  Axiom schema of replacement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The axiom of replacement then states that given a set A, we can find a set B whose members are precisely the values of F at the members of A.
Replacement is difficult to express at all in foundations built upon topos theory, so it's usually left out there as well.
Nevertheless, replacement is not controversial in the sense that some people find its consequences to be necessarily false (a sense in which the axiom of choice, for example, is controversial); it's just that they find it unnecessary.

 Axiom schema of specification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic, mathematics, and computer science that use it, the axiom schema of specification, or axiom schema of separation, or axiom schema of restricted comprehension, is a schema of axioms in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
The axiom schema of specification is characteristic of systems of axiomatic set theory related to the usual set theory ZFC, but does not usually appear in radically different systems of alternative set theory.
Most of the other Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (but not the axiom of extensionality or the axiom of regularity) then became necessary to serve as an additional replacement for the axiom schema of comprehension; each of these axioms states that a certain set exists, and defines that set by giving a predicate for its members to satisfy.

 New Axioms for Set Theory
The theory of sets is canonical and the axiom schema appears to be simply a canonical schema stating that the universe is endless and that an extension would be nonrigid, and providing powerful reflection principles for set theory.
Also, the axiom schema with measurable replaced by inaccessible can be approximated by allowing greater expressiveness in the formulas in the replacement axiom schema and be viewed as the natural limit of such approximations.
GCH is a natural strengthening of the Axiom of Choice: GCH implies the Axiom of Choice over ZF and the “unintuitive” consequences of GCH can be viewed as the natural strengthening of the consequences of the axiom of choice.

The axiom schema that is used explicitly in the book is the "axiom schema of separation" due to Ernst Zermelo, which he formulated in order to make precise the notion of a statement as being "definite".
The axiom of infinity is brought in to permit the construction of arithmetical operations as certain sets.
The author shows that the use of this axiom allows one to prove that an infinite set has a denumerable subset, and he shows the equivalence of the axiom of choice with the numeration theorem, the well-ordering theorem, Zorn's lemma, and the law of trichotomy.

 MA10126 - Set Theory - Axioms of Set Theory (ZFC)
Axiom of Pairing - For all a and b, there exists a set X whose elements are exactly a and b.
Axiom of the Power Set - For all sets X, there exists a set Y = P(X) whose elements are all the subsets of X. Georg Cantor used this axiom to prove that not all infinite sets have the same size (cardinality).
Stated like this, the Axiom of Choice appears intuitively obvious - but the axiom is equivalent to a number of statements that are strongly counter-intuitive - primarily the Well-Ordering Theorem, and the Banach-Tarski Paradox.

Ernst Zermelo and Abraham Fraenkel proposed the following axioms as a foundation for what is now called Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, or ZF.
If this set of axioms are accepted along with the Axiom of Choice, it is often denoted ZFC.

 Michael Potter - Set Theory and Its Philosophy: a Critical Introduction - Reviewed by Timothy Bays, University of Notre ...
Replacement is introduced as one of several axioms which govern the height of the set-theoretic hierarchy (the other main ones are the previously mentioned "axiom of ordinals" and an axiom scheme of reflection, although modern large cardinal axioms do receive a brief mention).
There are well-known difficulties with generating these axioms from the iterative conception (for instance, the very fact that the axioms don't follow from axiomatizations of the kind Potter gives in section one).
I think, for instance, that replacement looks more intuitive when it's considered in conjunction with the axiom of infinity, and that regressive arguments for choice and replacement together work better than arguments for either of them by itself (because, for instance, of the nice structure they jointly put on the classes of cardinals and ordinals).

The axiom of well-foundedness asserts the requirement that the elements of ('a)GS are a subset of the cumulative heirarchy of sets formed by iteration of set formation beginning with the empty set.
The remaining axioms are intended to ensure that the subset is a large and well-rounded subset of the cumulative heirarchy.

 The Weblog: Single Post View
Once induction #1 is made, and once set theory is selected as the mathematical language, axioms follow promptly - and not for any reason other than those that led Zermelo down that path in the first place.
Although he never stated them, all of Cantor's operations are said to be derivable from three axioms: the axiom of extensionality, the axiom of abstraction, and the axiom of choice.
Although Zermelo's axiom schema of separation gets supplanted by Fraenkel's axiom schema of replacement, the important thing to note here is that the first step toward axiomatization developed directly in response to early paradoxes.
