Philosophie I Maximen 0 / Philosophy I Maxims 0 (German Edition)

Over a period of 22 years (1934-1955), the mathematician Kurt G�del wrote down a series of philosophical reflections, the so-called Philosophical Remarks (Max Phil). They have been handed down in 15 notebooks written in Gabelsberg shorthand. The first notebook contains general philosophical reflections. Notebooks two and three consist of G�del's individual ethics. The notebooks that follow clearly show that G�del had designed a philosophy of science in which he placed his discussions of physics, psychology, biology, mathematics, language, theology, and history within the context of a particular metaphysics. For the first time, the Kurt G�del Research Center of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences is preparing a complete, historical-critical edition of G�del's philosophical notebooks. A volume will published each year as a part of this edition. Volume 1, which G�del entitled Philosophy I Max 0, covers G�del�s own philosophical reflections as well as those of other authors that were important to him. These were placed by G�del at the beginning of his overall philosophical project. The introduction of the editor Eva-Maria Engelen provides an overview of this particular body of work.
