Question

I gone through the Russel's paradox.

From Wikipedia :

According to naive set theory, any definable collection is a set. Let R be the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. If R is not a member of itself, then its definition dictates that it must contain itself, and if it contains itself, then it contradicts its own definition as the set of all sets that are not members of themselves.

Next Russell's and Alonzo Church developed type theory to avoid this paradox. Can someone explain clearly how these types (type theory) avoids this paradox. Thanks
