Author Description

In 1931 Kurt Gödel published a revolutionary paper-one that challenged certain basic assumptions underlying much traditional research in mathematics and logic. Today his exploration of terra incognita has been recognized as one of the major contributions to modern scientific thought.Here is the first book to present a readable explanation to both scholars and non-specialists of the main ideas, the broad implications of Gödel's proof. It offers any educated person with a taste for logic and philosophy the chance to satisfy his intellectual curiosity about a previously inaccessible subject.
