## Abstract This is a study of the relative interpretability of the axiom of extensionality in the positive set theory. This work has to be considered in the line of works of R. O. Gandy, D. Scott and R. Hinnion who have studied the relative interpretability of the axiom of extensionality in set th

## Abstract Two theorems are proved: First that the statement βthere exists a field __F__ such that for every vector space over __F__, every generating set contains a basisβ implies the axiom of choice. This generalizes theorems of Halpern, Blass, and Keremedis. Secondly, we prove that the assert
## Abstract A weak form of intuitionistic set theory **WST** lacking the axiom of extensionality is introduced. While **WST** is too weak to support the derivation of the law of excluded middle from the axiom of choice, we show that bee.ng up **WST** with moderate extensionality principles or quoti
