Beginning with a short biography of Kurt Godel, "Godel's Theorem in
Focus" provides the reader with a clear guide to the mechanics of
Godel's proof in a format intelligible to the non-mathematician.
The book moves on to explanations of the mechanics of Godel's proof
and its significance for mathematical logic and the philosophy of
mathematics. In the final section, S. G. Shanker presents a major
new critique of Godel's theorem.
