Reviews

"The book....will certainly enlarge our appreciation of Gödel's scientific and philosophical thought as well as our understanding of his motivations. With great impatience we await now the succeeding volume...." --Mathematical Reviews
"As a whole this volume is as indispensable as the two former ones for any serious student of Godel's ideas and achievements, but in this case it is also indispensable for philosophers interested in logic and mathematics. The fourth (and last?) volume of this formidable series will be devoted to Godel's correspondance, so we should look forward to having it to study."--Modern Logic
"On the whole....the editors are to be wholeheartedly congratulated on bringing to the public work which deserves careful study and which ought to do something to revitalise the philosophy of mathematics by presenting a point of view that, unusualy, combines intellectual rogour with a willingness to make bold and sweeping metaphysical claims." --Times Higher Education Supplement
"This is the third volume of a comprehensive and critical edition of the works of Kurt Gödel. . .All these essays and lectures are most carefully written and remarkably rich. They give considerable insight into Gödel's own achievements in logic, set theory and physics and also into his philosophical views. . . .This volume was a desideratum for a long time. We also hope very strongly that volume 3 is not the last volume." --Vienna Circle Institute
Yearbook 1997 contains unpublished material

Yearbook 1997 contains unpublished material
"A comprehensive edition of the 20th-century logician's work, in facing pages of German and English. This third volume is a selection of unpublished and often unfinished papers and texts for individual lectures found in Gödel's Nachlass. A projected fourth volume will be devoted to a selection of his scientific correspondence and a full inventory of his Nachlass. Each selection or group of selections is introduced. Each volume is paged and indexed
separately."--SciTech Book News
