Gödel's Theorem in Focus

Beginning with a short biography of Kurt Gödel, 'Gödel's Theorem in Focus' provides the reader with a clear guide to the mechanics of Gödel's proof in a format intelligible to the non-mathematician. The book moves on to explanations of the mechanics of Gödel's proof and its significance for mathematical logic and the philosophy of mathematics. In the final section, S. G. Shanker presents a major new critique of Gödel's theorem.
