Dear Gregory,

there is a splendid text by Weil H.
Das Kontinuum. Kritische Untersuchungen uber die Grundlagen der Analysis. -
Leipzig: Verlag von Veit und Comp., 1918,
where he discussed some problems of foundation of analysis
and the realation between notions: "set" and "function".

Cordially,
Oleg Vorob'ov.
