Several separation axioms, defined in terms of continuous functions, were examined by van Est and Freudenthal [3], in 1951. Since that time, a number of new topological properties which were called separation axioms were defined by Aull and Thron [1], and later by Robinson and Wu [2], This paper gives a general definition of separation axiom, defined in terms of continuous functions, and shows that the standard separation axioms, and all but one of these new topological properties, fit this definition.
