 "It is lively and a pleasure to read, and the book provides remarkably sharp formulations of the usual confusions. There is no doubt that readers of this journal should recommend this book to any friends or colleagues who ask about the ramifications of incompleteness." "Torkel Franzen's 'Godel's Theorem' is a wonderful book, destined to become a classic." "[T]he task that Torkel Franzen set out to do was by no means an easy one. But what a remarkable result!" "It is one of the great merits of this book that it sensitizes the reader to the linguistic subtleties involved in describing Godel’s achievements." "The author of this book succeeds to place Gödel’s incompleteness theorem [in] its right place in the cultural heritage of the 20th century. Explaining its major importance, he also critically rejects a lot of claims attributing to this [theorem] some imaginary meanings."
"Among the many expositions of Gödel's incompleteness theorems written for non-specialists, this book stands apart. With exceptional clarity, Franzén gives careful, non-technical explanations both of what those theorems say and, more importantly, what they do not. No other book aims, as his does, to address in detail the misunderstandings and abuses of the incompleteness theorems that are so rife in popular discussions of their significance. As an antidote to the many spurious appeals to incompleteness in theological, anti-mechanist and post-modernist debates, it is a valuable addition to the literature." --- John W. Dawson, author of Logical Dilemmas: The Life and Work of Kurt Gödel Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
