Maximen VII / Maxims VII [German]

By Kurt Gödel

Over a period of 22 years (1934-1955), the mathematician Kurt G del wrote down philosophical remarks, the so-called Maximen Philosophie (Max Phil). They are preserved in 15 notebooks in Gabelsberger shorthand. The first booklet contains general philosophical considerations, booklets two and three consist of G del's individual ethics. The following books show that G del developed a philosophy of science in which he places his discussions on physics, psychology, biology, mathematics, language, theology and history in the context of a metaphysics.

A complete, historical-critical edition of G del's Philosophical Notebooks is now being prepared for the first time at the Kurt G del Research Centre of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. One volume will be published each year as part of this edition.
