I know it has been asked several times, but there is always one step that I don't see. My argumentation goes as it follows:
- Given the set $\mathbb{V}$ set of all sets, then $V \in V$.
- Because of the Axiom of Schema of Specfication we can define a certain property $P(x) = x \not\in x$, and prove that $\exists A \forall x, A = \{x \in V : x \not\in x\}$
- We can prove that this is a contradiction by checking if $A \in A$ (since $A \in V$ but $A \not\in A$, but then if $A \not\in A$ then $A \in A$, which is a contradiction).
This proves that such set $A$ does not exist, but I cannot see why can we conclude that this proves that $\nexists V$, since we could have started the analysis with any other set than $V$ (this is, the proof is independent of the initial set) that contains $A$.
Best Answer
There is no other set that contains the same $A$.
Start with a set $Y$ and form $$ S=\{p\in Y\colon p\not\in p\} $$ What can we say about $S$?
Conslusion: The first possibility must be true and $S\not\in Y$.
Corollary: For any set $Y$, $\mathcal P(Y)\not\subseteq Y$ where $\mathcal P$ denotes powerset.
Now if $V$ is a set of all sets, it must satisfy $\mathcal P(V)\subseteq V$, because all sets are in $V$.
