Synopsis
Godel's Proof was first published in the US in 1958. In 1931 there appeared in a German scientific periodical a relatively short paper with the forbidding title "On Formally Undecidable propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems". Its author was Kurt Godel, then a young mathematician of 25 at the University of Vienna who since 1938 was a permanent member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. The paper is a milestone in the history of logic and mathematics. When Harvard University awarded Godel an honorary degree, the citation described the work as one of the most important advances in logic in modern times. At the time of its appearance, however, neither the title of Godel's paper nor its content was intelligible to most mathematicians.

Softcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. The 1960 1st Softcover edition/2nd impression of "Godel's Proof" by Ernest Nagel, published by New York University Press, preserves the intellectual richness of Kurt Godel's groundbreaking work in a Good+ condition. While the tanned covers bear the expected corner and spine creases reflective of its vintage, they retain their integrity. Notably, a few pages inside the book reveal faint stains, subtly present and not significantly impacting the overall quality.This seminal work originated from Godel's 1931 paper, "On Formally Undecidable propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems," initially published in a German scientific periodical. Despite its initial lack of comprehension among many mathematicians, the paper's subsequent recognition as a monumental advance in modern logic solidifies its importance. Kurt Godel, the mathematical genius behind this work, was a mere 25 years old when it first appeared, later becoming a permanent member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton from 1938 onward.Ernest Nagel, the author presenting Godel's ideas to a broader audience, ensures accessibility to this profound content. The book, beyond its historical significance, serves as a gateway for readers into the transformative ideas that reshaped the landscape of logic and mathematics. In its aged yet enduring condition, "Godel's Proof" offers a tangible connection to the intellectual journey initiated by Godel and amplified by Nagel, encapsulating a critical chapter in the history of mathematical thought.
