Kurt Goedel: Collected Works Summary

Kurt Goedel: Collected Works: Volume I: Publications 1929-1936 by Kurt Goedel

Kurt Goedel (1906 - 1978) was the most outstanding logician of the twentieth century, famous for his hallmark works on the completeness of logic, the incompleteness of number theory, and the consistency of the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis. He is also noted for his work on constructivity, the decision problem, and the foundations of computability theory, as well as for the strong individuality of his writings on the philosophy of mathematics. He is less well known for his discovery of unusual cosmological models for Einstein's equations, in theory permitting time travel into the past. The Collected Works is a landmark resource that draws together a lifetime of creative thought and accomplishment. The first two volumes were devoted to Goedel's publications in full (both in original and translation), and the third volume featured a wide selection of unpublished articles and lecture texts found in Goedel's Nachlass. These long-awaited final two volumes contain Goedel's correspondence of logical, philosophical, and scientific interest. Volume IV covers A to G, with H to Z in volume V; in addition, Volume V contains a full inventory of Goedel's Nachlass. All volumes include introductory notes that provide extensive explanatory and historical commentary on each body of work, English translations of material originally written in German (some transcribed from the Gabelsberger shorthand), and a complete bibliography of all works cited. Kurt Goedel: Collected Works is designed to be useful and accessible to as wide an audience as possible without sacrificing scientific or historical accuracy. The only comprehensive edition of Goedel's work available, it will be an essential part of the working library of professionals and students in logic, mathematics, philosophy, history of science, and computer science and all others who wish to be acquainted with one of the great minds of the twentieth century.

Kurt Goedel: Collected Works Reviews

The whole enterprise is superbly coordinated and assembled under the direction of Solomon Feferman ... The book is a tour de force and a labour of love. Superbly crafted and presented, what a bargain, given the many gems it contains! * The Mathematical Gazette *
The books are carefully and beautifully produced and offer rich material, illuminating not only the outstanding work of Goedel, but also the whole mathematical logic of the twentieth century, including some philosophical and historical aspects. * EMS *
