Description:

This course serves as an introduction to G?del's work in logic and philosophy, and is also designed to serve as an introduction to metaphysics and to the philosophy of logic and the philosophy of mathematics. It pays particular attention to ideas of G?del that sharpen our understanding of these three concepts: Truth, Proof, and Infinity. Students will also study provability logic, which is useful for its characterization in an elementary setting of G?del's most famous work, his results on the incompleteness of logic and mathematics.
