Reviews
'These essays explore most aspects of Goedel's legacy, including his conceptions of intuition and analyticity, the Completeness theorem, the set-theoretic multiverse and the current state of mathematical logic.' Graham Hoare, The Mathematical Gazette
'In sum, this is a collection of stimulating essays, mathematically as well as philosophically. They are not exactly easy reading and require familiarity, at least in broad strokes, with Goedel's mathematical work and his central philosophical ideas (as well as their evolution and historical context). The patient reader will be rewarded by a deeper understanding of both.' Wilfried Sieg, Isis
