Descripción del producto
Críticas
[Budiansky] writes vividly, and the book overflows with fascinating detail.... Enthralling.--David Edmonds "Wall Street Journal"
A brilliant biography of one of the most original thinkers of all time, Journey to the Edge of Reason is as deep and precise as the genius it describes. In a paradox befitting Gödel himself, it takes a tale of logic and its limits and finds, at its heart, something strangely soulful and sympathetic.--Steven Strogatz, professor of mathematics, Cornell University, and author of Infinite Powers
A painstakingly researched and lucidly presented biography--a close-up of one of the most influential and enigmatic thinkers of the twentieth century--full of vivid detail and sharp historical insight.--Karl Sigmund, professor of mathematics, University of Vienna, and author of Exact Thinking in Demented Times
Budiansky exposes the social and political influences that shaped the life of this brilliant Austrian mathematician.... But Budiansky's greater accomplishment is that of penetrating a mind that reoriented the entire mathematical world.... A portrait remarkable for both its intellectual depth and for its compassion.--Booklist, starred review
Expansive ... places [Gödel's] achievements in their social and political context.-- "The New Yorker"
Gödel comes through as a brilliant though tragic figure in Budiansky's richly descriptive prose. This captivating portrait of a great if neurotic mind hits the mark.--Publishers Weekly, starred review
Kurt Gödel's mathematical results on incompleteness and undecidable propositions leave it up to us, as individuals, to choose whether to mourn these limits to the power of formal systems, or celebrate his proof that even the most rigid numerical bureaucracy contains the tools by which higher truth will always be able to effect an escape. Stephen Budiansky's Journey to the Edge of Reason expertly and humanely frames these results between Gödel's childhood under the dark shadow of the Austrian and Nazi bureaucracies, his escape to America, his descent into physical and mental illness, and his achievement of a reconciliation between spiritual faith and scientific proof.--George Dyson, author of Analogia and Turing's Cathedral
Mesmerizing.... As this vibrant biography so beautifully elucidates, the truth of a life can't ever be proven; it can only be shown.--Jennifer Szalai "New York Times Book Review"
Remarkable.... A singular virtue of this well-researched and well-written book is that Budiansky takes his subject's life as seriously as his mathematical work.... Readers shouldn't be discouraged by the complexity of Go]del's mathematics; this is the first major biography of the brilliant yet tragic figure and, in all respects, a first-rate one.--Library Journal, starred review
Terrific.... An outstanding biography of a man of incomprehensible brilliance.--Kirkus, starred review
Wonderfully engrossing.--Adam Gopnik "The New Yorker"

It's tricky writing about someone whose work is in a very abstruse and difficult branch of pure mathematics. But I don't think you can ignore his work pretty much altogether. Abraham Pais in his biography of Einstein (and Bohr) met the science and mathematics head on and it worked.
Especially a person with so little to flesh out his beliefs and relationships, it's hard to gain any insight into him from this book.

also the world history background from 1860 to 1960 , Vienna politics and sadly Nazism at the forefront there,
sadly may Math is too weak to follow his accomplishments
