As G?del scholars are now becoming increasingly familiar not only with th
e
texts in the Collected Works but also with the still unpublished ones in
the Archive, we see changes in our understanding of G?del's work: his
results in logic, the development of which has now begun to be traced in
much more detail, but also his philosophical reflections, the full
importance of which is becoming ever clearer. The aim of this workshop
will be to discuss G?del's writings and to present and compare different
perspectives on the philosophy and career of this logician. We will study
his writings in order better to understand his intellectual development,
his own reflections on his logical theorems, and, finally, the
concomittant metaphysics that he hoped to develop.
