Kurt Gödel: The Princeton Lectures on Intuitionism: Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences

Editat de Maria Hämeen-Anttila, Jan von Plato
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2022
Paris of the year 1900 left two landmarks: the Tour Eiffel, and David Hilbert's celebrated list of twenty-four mathematical problems presented at a conference opening the new century. Kurt Gödel, a logical icon of that time, showed Hilbert's ideal of complete axiomatization of mathematics to be unattainable. The result, of 1931, is called Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Gödel then went on to attack Hilbert's first and second Paris problems, namely Cantor's continuum problem about the type of infinity of the real numbers, and the freedom from contradiction of the theory of real numbers. By 1963, it became clear that Hilbert's first question could not be answered by any known means, half of the credit of this seeming faux pas going to Gödel. The second is a problem still wide open. Gödel worked on it for years, with no definitive results; The best he could offer was a start with the arithmetic of the entire numbers. 

This book, Gödel's lectures at the famous Princeton Institute for Advanced Study in 1941, shows how far he had come with Hilbert's second problem, namely to a theory of computable functionals of finite type and a proof of the consistency of ordinary arithmetic. It offers indispensable reading for logicians, mathematicians, and computer scientists interested in foundational questions. It will form a basis for further investigations into Gödel's vast Nachlass of unpublished notes on how to extend the results of his lectures to the theory of real numbers. The book also gives insights into the conceptual and formal work that is needed for the solution of profound scientific questions, by one of the central figures of 20th century science and philosophy.

Recenzii

“This book covers the lectures that Kurt Gödel gave in the spring of 1941 at the Institute
for Advanced Study in Princeton. … The importance of the book: it is an essential addition to Gödel studies, extending the original audience of three to all interested researchers.” (Jean Paul Van Bendegem, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2023)

“This careful edition of Gödel's notes for his 1941 Princeton lectures is a highly relevant publication which should be consulted by anybody who wants to learn about Gödel's thoughts on intuitionsm at this time or is interested in functional interpretations.” (Ulrich Kohlenbach, Philosophia Mathematica, July 9, 2022)
