Abstract:
Undoubtly, Gödel was the greatest logician of the twentieth century. There is no trace
of exaggeration in saying, following Wang, that Gödel's contribution to mathematics has the
same status as Freudian psychology, Einstein's theory of relativity, Bohr's principle of complementarity,
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, keynesian economics, and Watson and Crick
double helix model of DNA. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, most of the personal details
of Gödel's life remained a mystery
