Title: | A Simple Exposition of Gödel's Theorem | Authors: | Lucas, John R. | Keywords: | mechanism; Gödel, Kurt | Issue Date: | 2003 | Publisher: | EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste | Source: | John R.

Abstract: | Lucas introduces this paper by an account of how he began to be interested to questions about Materialism and Mechanism. Then he suggests a simple version of the Incompleteness theorem of Gödel, showing how this theorem proposes a version of the Epimenides’ paradox able to avoid the circularity of this paradox by means of the possibility to express meta-mathematics in terms of arithmetical propositions and by substituting questions concerning truth by questions concerning provability. |
