Description We generalize Freyd's well-known result that " homotopy is not concrete", offering a general method to show that under certain assumptions on a model category M, its homotopy category ho(M) cannot be concrete. This result is part of an attempt to understand more deeply the relation between set theory and abstract homotopy theory.
