Beschreibung
Berto's highly readable and lucid guide introduces students and the interested reader to Gödel's celebrated Incompleteness Theorem, and discusses some of the most famous - and infamous - claims arising from Gödel's arguments.
* Offers a clear understanding of this difficult subject by presenting each of the key steps of the Theorem in separate chapters
* Discusses interpretations of the Theorem made by celebrated contemporary thinkers
* Sheds light on the wider extra-mathematical and philosophical implications of Gödel's theories
* Written in an accessible, non-technical style
