Discusses interpretations of the Theorem made by celebrated contemporary thinkers. Sheds light on the wider extra-mathematical and philosophical implications of Gödel's theories.Incompleteness theoremsPhilosophyGödel's theoremMathematicsIncompleteness theoremsPhilosophyGödel's theorem.Mathematics511.3Berto Francesco286940AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910792101703321There's Something About Gödel3682440UNINA
