contents Ernst Zermelo's axiomatization of set theory (1908) did not exclude `a set that is a member of itself'. We call a set that is a member of itself `an individual'. In this article we prove the elimination of Russell's paradox is equivalent to "For every set S, an individual is a member of S or a set (but not an individual) is not a member of S". This shows there is place in set theory for individuals. And we show the set theory with individuals has its philosophical foundation in Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
