Book Description:

A famous theorem from Gödel entails that if our thinking capacities do not go beyond what an electronic computer is capable of, then there are indeed absolutely unsolvable mathematical problems. Within this context, the contributions to this book critically examine positions about the scope and limits of human mathematical knowledge.
