La prova matematica dell'esistenza di Dio
Gödel fornisce, in questo piccolo scritto, una dimostrazione logica dell'esistenza di impresa che oggi potrà anche sembrare anacronistica, ma che si situa nella scia di una tradizione millenaria. La dimostrazione fu concepita nel 1941, rimaneggiata nel 1954, e perfezionata nel 1970. Nel febbraio dello stesso anno Gödel mostrò la versione definitiva al logico Dana Scott, e nell'agosto dichiarò all'economista Oskar Morgenstern di esserne soddisfatto, ma di non volerla non intendeva rivelare i suoi interessi teologici; la dimostrazione gli interessava solo da un punto di vista logico.

About the author
Kurt Gödel
52 books196 followersKurt Gödel was an Austrian-American logician, mathematician and philosopher. One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel made an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when many, such as Bertrand Russell, A. N. Whitehead and David Hilbert, were pioneering the use of logic and set theory to understand the foundations of mathematics.
Gödel is best known for his two incompleteness theorems, published in 1931 when he was 25 years of age, one year after finishing his doctorate at the University of Vienna. The more famous incompleteness theorem states that for any self-consistent recursive axiomatic system powerful enough to describe the arithmetic of the natural numbers (Peano arithmetic), there are true propositions about the naturals that cannot be proved from the axioms. To prove this theorem, Gödel developed a technique now known as Gödel numbering, which codes formal expressions as natural numbers.
He also showed that the continuum hypothesis cannot be disproved from the accepted axioms of set theory, if those axioms are consistent. He made important contributions to proof theory by clarifying the connections between classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and modal logic.

un po' pesante, specie se non si ha nessuna infarinatura di logica matematica...
