Author: James R. Newman, Ernest Nagel
Publisher: NYU Press (2001) Binding: Hardcover, 125 pages pricer: $19.95 ISBN-10: 0814758169 editorialreviews G?del's incompleteness theorem--which showed that any robust mathematical system contains statements that are true yet unprovable within the system--is an anomaly in 20th-century mathematics. Its conclusions are as strange as they are profound, but, unlike other recent theorems of comparable importance, grasping the main steps of the proof requires little more than high school algebra and a bit of patience. Ernest Nagel and James Newman's original text was one of the first (and best) to bring G?del's ideas to a mass audience. With brevity and clarity, the volume described the historical context that made G?del's theorem so paradigm-shattering. Where the first edition fell down, however, was in the guts of the proof itself; the brevity that served so well in defining the problem made their rendering of G?del's solution so dense as to be nearly indigestible. This reissuance of Nagel and Newman's classic has been vastly improved by the deft editing of Douglas Hofstadter, a prot¨¦g¨¦ of Nagel's and himself a popularizer of G?del's work. In the second edition, Hofstadter reworks significant sections of the book, clarifying and correcting here, adding necessary detail there. In the few instances in which his writing diverges from the spirit of the original, it is to emphasize the interplay between formal mathematical deduction and meta-mathematical reasoning--a subject explored in greater depth in Hofstadter's other delightful writings. --Clark Williams-Derry checked checked checked
