  • Truth, provability, necessity, and other concepts are fundamental to many branches of philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. Their study has led to some of the most celebrated achievements in logic, such as Gödel's incompleteness theorems, Tarski's theorem on the undefinability of truth, and numerous accounts of the paradoxes associated with these concepts. This book provides a clear and direct introduction to the theory of paradoxes and the Gödel incompleteness theorems. It offers new analyses of the ideas of self-reference, circularity, and the semantic paradoxes, and helps readers to see both how paradoxes arise and what their common features are. It will be valuable for students and researchers with a minimal background in logic and will equip them to understand and discuss a wide variety of topics in philosophical logic.

  • Summary

    Gödel’s suggestion in his 1946 Princeton Bicentennial Lecture, to extend what he characterises as the formalism independence of the concept of computabilityto definability and provability, are discussed and implenented. The implementation for the concept of definabilitytakes the form of extended constructibility. Possible implementations having to do with provability are also discussed, mainly in connection with informal proof systems involving Gödel’s so-called large cardinal program.
