  Ernst Friedrich Ferdinand Zermelo
Zermelo's reaction to these criticisms was to try to prove the well ordering property with a proof that would find more widespread acceptance, and this he succeeded in doing in 1908.
Zermelo made other fundamental contributions to axiomatic set theory which were partly a consequence of the criticism of his first major contribution to the subject, and partly because set theory began to become an important research topic at Göttingen.
At the end of the World War II Zermelo requested that he be reinstated to his honorary position in Freiburg, and indeed he was reinstated to the post in 1946.

  Zermelo set theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zermelo set theory, as set out in an important paper in 1908 by Ernst Zermelo, is the ancestor of modern set theory.
Zermelo is of course referring to the "Russell antinomy".
Zermelo's paper is notable for what may be the first mention of Cantor's theorem explicitly and by name.

 Ernst Zermelo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zermelo remained at the University of Berlin where he was appointed assistant to Planck and under his guidance began to study hydrodynamics.
Zermelo began to work on the problems of set theory and in 1902 published his first work concerning the addition of transfinite cardinals.

 Zermelo biography
Although Zermelo certainly gained fame for his proof of the well ordering property, set theory at this time was in the rather unusual position that many mathematicians rejected the type of proofs that Zermelo had discovered.
As this quote indicates, Zermelo's reaction to these criticisms was to try to prove the well ordering property with a proof that would find more widespread acceptance, and this he succeeded in doing in the paper Neuer Beweis which he published in 1908.
The prize was awarded on the initiative of Hilbert and certainly it was an attempt to enable Zermelo rest and so to regain his health.

 From Frege To Godel: von Heijenoort   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Zermelo placed a spotlight on the axiom of choice by using it to prove every set can be well-ordered (later defending the axiom of choice and his proof).
Accepting Zermelo's proof, we have that there is a first element of the real numbers which is not "finitely definable" which gives what is sometimes called the Zermelo-Konig paradox on the notion of definability.
Zermelo also discusses objections to the first proof which included a mistrust of Cantor's set theory, a wariness of the principle of choice, and a suspicion that the argument is reminiscent of those leading to the paradoxes.

 Zermelo, Ernst Friedrich Ferdinand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Zermelo was born in Berlin and studied at Halle and Freiburg.
In 1900 Zermelo provided an ingenious proof to the well-ordering theorem, which states that every set can be well ordered (that is, can be arranged in a series in which each subclass - not being null - has a first term).
In 1904 Zermelo defined the axiom of choice, the use of which had previously been unrecognized in mathematical reasoning.

 Russell's Paradox
Zermelo independently discovered the paradox, which evidence has shown probably occurred one or two years before Russell's discovery, and possibly as early as 1899 ([7], p.
It has been suggested that Zermelo did not publish his proof because he was unaware of Frege's work and of the logical implications of the paradox.
Zermelo, however, did not remain troubled by this and the other paradoxes, but in 1908 axiomatized set theory in such a way that these paradoxes could be avoided.

 Zermelo
Then, in 1904, Zermelo published a proof that every set can be well-ordered, using the Axiom of Choice.
Zermelo starts off with a domain D of objects, among which are the sets.
Furthermore, it seems to be clear that, when founded in such an axiomatic way, set theory cannot remain a privileged logical theory; it is then placed on the same level as other axiomatic theories.

 Axiomatic Set Theory. Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms
Zermelo had in his axiom list also the famous axiom of choice.
In 1904, Zermelo used this "principle of arbitrary choice" explicitly to prove that each set can be well-ordered.
This provocative paper by Zermelo was by far not the first time in the history when something like the "principle of arbitrary choice" was used in mathematical proofs.
