Essays on Gödel's Reception of Leibniz, Husserl, and Brouwer

4.9/5 (29500 ratings)

Description:This volume tackles Godel's two-stage project of first using Husserl's transcendental phenomenology to reconstruct and develop Leibniz' monadology, and then founding classical mathematics on the metaphysics thus obtained. The author analyses the historical and systematic aspects of that project, and then evaluates it, with an emphasis on the second stage.The book is organised around Godel's use of Leibniz, Husserl and Brouwer. Far from considering past philosophers irrelevant to actual systematic concerns, Godel embraced the use of historical authors to frame his own philosophical perspective. The philosophies of Leibniz and Husserl define his project, while Brouwer's intuitionism is its principal foil: the close affinities between phenomenology and intuitionism set the bar for Godel's attempt to go far beyond intuitionism.The four central essays are Monads and sets', On the philosophical development of Kurt Godel', Godel and intuitionism', and Construction and constitution in mathematics'. The first analyses and criticises Godel's attempt to justify, by an argument from analogy with the monadology, the reflection principle in set theory. It also provides further support for Godel's idea that the monadology needs to be reconstructed phenomenologically, by showing that the unsupplemented monadology is not able to found mathematics directly. The second studies Godel's reading of Husserl, its relation to Leibniz' monadology, and its influence on his published writings. The third discusses how on various occasions Brouwer's intuitionism actually inspired Godel's work, in particular the Dialectica Interpretation. The fourth addresses the question whether classical mathematics admits of the phenomenological foundation that Godel envisaged, and concludes that it does not.The remaining essays provide further context. The essays collected here were written and published over the last decade. Notes have been added to record further thoughts, changes of mind, connections between the essays, and updates of references."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
