The "set" and "empty-set" are "undefined terms". Undefined terms are terms which cannot be rigorously defined. Rigorously defined means based on other mathematical definition. Mathemations need a place to start thus they chose the concept of the "set" as the place where everything else is defined. Note, it does not mean we cannot understand what a "set" is but rather we cannot "define" it properly.
