Hilbert's Programs & Beyond presents the foundational work of David
Hilbert in a sequence of thematically organized essays. They first
trace the roots of Hilbert's work to the radical transformation of
mathematics in the 19th century and bring out his pivotal role in
creating mathematical logic and proof theory. They then analyze
techniques and results of "classical" proof theory as well as their
dramatic expansion in modern proof theory. This intellectual
experience finally opens horizons for reflection on the nature of
mathematics in the 21st century: Sieg articulates his position of
reductive structuralism and explores mathematical capacities via
computational models.
