Description

The present volume contains most of the papers given at the 1983 Gödel-Symposium in Salzburg, held at the Institut für Wissenschaftstheorie of the International Research Center Salzburg under the auspices of the Austrian Academy of Science and the Institut für Wissenschaftstheorie. It was sponsored by the same two institutions. The idea was to bring together scholars who have known Kurt Gödel personally, and who have discussed with him scientific, philosophical and personal matters. Fortunately, it was possible to get such people who had personal contact with Gödel at different periods of his life, thereby complementing each other’s accounts. His brother Rudolf who remembers their childhood, and especially their mother. Taussky-Todd knew Gödel in his student years (from 1925 on), afterwards as a doctor and «Privatdozent», mainly in Vienna. Kleene had contacts with Gödel, attended Gödel’s lectures at Princeton 1933/34, of which he prepared notes together with J. B. Rosser, and kept in touch. Kreisel had discussions with Gödel after the second world war. The contributers deal with topics concerning Gödel’s life and interests from their personal points of view.
