Godel, Tarski and the Lure of Natural Language by Juliette Kennedy
In this book Juliette Kennedy presents an original perspective on foundations of mathematics. Departing from Godel and Tarski's work, the treatment is historically, logically and set-theoretically rich, and topics such as naturalism and foundations receive their due, but now with an entirely new twist.
'Kennedy creatively embeds Godel's ideal of 'formalism freeness' into myriad results in contemporary logic and foundations of mathematics, offering novel historical reconstructions of Tarski and TuringA cutting-edge work of philosophy that synthesizes, while going beyond, our current ideas about foundations.' Juliet Floyd, Boston University
Juliette Kennedy is Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Helsinki. Her research focuses on set theory, history of logic and philosophy of mathematics, and she is Editor of Interpreting Gödel: Critical Essays (Cambridge, 2014).
