Gespräche, Vorträge, Séancen : Kurt Gödels Wiener Protokolle 1937/38: Transkriptionen Und Kommentare, Hardcover by Lethen, Tim, ISBN 3030676056, ISBN-13 9783030676056, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book provides detailed transcriptions of two nots written by Kurt Gödel in Vienna in 1937/38 in the nearly forgotten Gabelsberger shorthand system. The first of these nots, simply entitled as the Protokoll-book, contains notes on conversations Gödel had with people like Rudolf Carnap, Rose Rand, Friedrich Waismann, Else Frenkel-Brunswik, and many others who were—at least to some degree—connected to the Vienna Circle. It also covers detailed descriptions of the regular meetings organized by Edgar Zilsel. The second not includes notes on a series of lectures given at the Vienna Psychological Institute, which was led by Karl Bühler at the time. Both nots are part of Gödel’s huge Nachlass kept at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, which consists of literally thousands of stenographic pages covering logic and the foundations of mathematics, philosophy, physics, and theology. The now transcribed and commented notes reveal a very personal side of Gödel which has—to a large extent—been unknown to a mainly scientific-oriented audience. Th is of interest to people wanting to learn about Gödel’s personal background in Vienna in the late 1930s as well as his keen interest in philosophy, psychology, and parapsychology.
