Krátky popis
Nearly a hundred years after its publication, Kurt Goedel's famous
proof that every mathematical system must contain propositions that
are true-yet never provable-continues to unsettle mathematics,
philosophy, and computer science. Yet unlike Einstein, with whom he
formed a warm and abiding friendship, Goedel has long escaped all
but the most casual scrutiny of his life.Stephen Budiansky's
Journey to the Edge of Reason is the first biography to fully draw
upon Goedel's voluminous letters and writings-including a
never-before-transcribed shorthand diary of his most intimate
thoughts-to explore Goedel's profound intellectual friendships, his
moving relationship with his mother, his troubled yet devoted
marriage, and the debilitating bouts of paranoia that ultimately
took his life. It also offers an intimate portrait of the
scientific and intellectual circles in prewar Vienna, a haunting
account of Goedel's and Jewish intellectuals' flight from Austria
and Germany at the start of the Second World War, and a vivid
re-creation of the early days of the Institute for Advanced Study
in Princeton, NJ, where Goedel and Einstein both worked.Eloquent
and insightful, Journey to the Edge of Reason is a fully realized
portrait of the odd, brilliant, and tormented man who has been
called the greatest logician since Aristotle, and illuminates the
far-reaching implications of Goedel's revolutionary ideas for
philosophy, mathematics, artificial intelligence, and man's place
in the cosmos.
