Beginning with a short biography of Kurt Godel,Godel's Theorem in Focusprovides the reader with a clear guide to the mechanics of Godel's proof in a format intelligible to the non-mathematician. The book moves on to explanations of the mechanics of Godel's proof and its significance for mathematical logic and the philosophy of mathematics. In the final section, S. G. Shanker presents a major new critique of Godel's theorem.
