Kurt Godel (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 Godel'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selection of unpublished articles and lecture texts found in
Godel's Nachlass. The final two volumes contain Godel's
correspondence of logical, philosophical, and scientific interest.
Volume IV, published for the first time in paperback, covers A to
G, with H to Z in volume V; in addition, Volume V contains a full
inventory of Godel'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 Godel: 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 Godel'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.
