Or the semantic paradoxes – Goedel's theorem is not nearly the end of the problems with self-reference, though in fact those paradoxes challenge our intuitions about truth and reasoning themselves, not just our efforts to formalise those intuitions. I haven't read these books but did read Gödel's Proof by Ernest Nagel and it seems Godel's life is important reading for anyone interested in science. May 1, 2005 'Incompleteness': Waiting for Gödel By POLLY SHULMAN INCOMPLETENESS The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel. I've been trying to get through Roger Penrose's “Road to Reality”, with a slight detour thru “Flatterland” and “Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Godel”. Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Godel. How Gödel proves this theorem is fascinating: it is essentially the Liar's Paradox - an age-old conundrum that baffled the ancient Greeks and showed the limits of rationality. Tools for Thought: the history and future of mind-expanding technology. Encode the statement "this mathematical proof does not appear in the list of Gödel sentences" as a Gödel sentence.

Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel is on a revolutionary mathematical discovery and the strange man behind it. In mathematical logic, Gödel's incompleteness theorems, proved by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are two theorems stating inherent limitations of all but the most trivial formal systems for arithmetic of mathematical interest.

Gödel is famous as a mathematician for his Incompleteness Theorem: a proof that says mathematics will remain incomplete because there will always be some statement that is logical, true, rational - but unprovable.
