Produktinformationen zu „Chapters from Gödel's Unfinished Book on Foundational Research in Mathematics / Vienna Circle Institute Library Bd.6 (PDF)“

This book is a testimony to Gödel's understanding of the situation of foundational research in mathematics after his great discovery, the incompleteness theorem of 1931. It is also a source for his views on his logical predecessors, from Leibniz, Frege, and Russell to his own times. Gödel's "own book on foundations," as he called it, is essential reading for logicians and philosophers interested in foundations. Furthermore, it opens a new chapter to the life and achievement of one of the icons of 20th century science and philosophy.

Autoren-Porträt von Jan von Plato

Viennese logician Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) became world-famous overnight with his incompleteness theorems of 1931. The first one states the impossibility to represent all of mathematics in one closed system, the second that there is no ultimate guarantee that such systems could not lead to contradictions. Soon after the publication of Gödel's sensational article, he was invited to write, together with Arend Heyting, a concise book about the status of foundational research in mathematics. With Gödel prolonging the delivery of his part, Heyting lost patience and published his part in 1934. It has been generally believed that Gödel had made little headway with his chapters. A search in the Gödel papers showed the contrary to be the case: he had meticulously listed well over a hundred works to study and had practically finished two chapters in his Gabelsberger shorthand, and outlined a third.

Jan von Plato is professor of philosophy at the University of Helsinki. His books include Saved From the Cellar (Springer, 2017), Can Mathematics Be Proved Consistent? (Springer, 2020) and Kurt Gödel: The Princeton Lectures on Intuitionism (Edited by Maria Hämeen-Anttila and Jan von Plato, Springer 2021).
