摘要

This paper is a critical Essay Review of Kurt Gödel, Collected Works. Volume 1. Publications 1929–1936. Editor-in-chief Solomon Feferman. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986, xvi + 474. First, I will describe the content of the book from the point of view of Gödel’s works, making some comments on the way they have been organized for publication (II). Then I will describe the different sections other than the introductory notes, adding more comments about their usefulness (III). Finally, I will concentrate on the introductory notes, first to indicate their general features (IV), and second to describe and discuss, often very critically, the content of some of them, precisely those devoted to the philosophically most significant of Gödel’s writings included in this volume (V-IX).
