Kurt Goedel - Collected Works: Volume III: Unpublished essays and lectures

The Collected Works is a landmark resource
that draws together a lifetime of creative accomplishment. The first two
volumes were devoted to Goedel's publications in full (both in the original and
translation). This third volume features a wide selection of unpublished
articles and lecture texts found in Goedel's Nachlass, documents
that enlarge considerably our appreciation of his scientific and philosophical
thought and add a great deal to our understanding of his motivations.

Continuing the format of the earlier volumes, the present volume includes
introductory notes that provide extensive explanatory and historical commentary
on each of the papers, English translations of material originally written in
German (some transcribed from Gabelsberger shorthand), and a complete
bibliography.

A succeeding volume is to contain a comprehensive selection of Goedel's
scientific correspondence and a complete inventory of his Nachlass. The books
are designed to be accessible and useful to as wide an audience as possible
without sacrificing scientific or historical accuracy. The only complete
edition available in English, it will be an essential part of the working
library of professionals and students in logic, mathematics, philosophy,
history of science, and computer science.
