This book provides detailed transcriptions of two notebooks written by
Kurt Gödel in Vienna in 1937/38 in the nearly forgotten Gabelsberger
shorthand system. The first of these notebooks, simply entitled as the
Protokoll-book, contains notes on conversations Gödel had with people
like Rudolf Carnap, Rose Rand, Friedrich Waismann, Else
Frenkel-Brunswik, and many others who were—at least to some
degree—connected to the Vienna Circle. It also covers detailed
descriptions of the regular meetings organized by Edgar Zilsel. The
second notebook includes notes on a series of lectures given at the
Vienna Psychological Institute, which was led by Karl Bühler at the
time. Both notebooks are part of Gödel’s huge Nachlass kept at the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, which consists of literally
thousands of stenographic pages covering logic and the foundations of
mathematics, philosophy, physics, and theology. The now transcribed
and commented notes reveal a very personal side of Gödel which
has—to a large extent—been unknown to a mainly scientific-oriented
audience. The book is of interest to people wanting to learn about
Gödel’s personal background in Vienna in the late 1930s as well as
his keen interest in philosophy, psychology, and parapsychology.
