Description
We characterize Godel's philosophy of mathematics, as presented in his
published works, with possible clarification and support provided by his
posthumously published drafts, as being formulated by Godel as an optimistic
neo-Kantian epistemology superimposed on a Platonic metaphysics. We further
consider that Godel's more general philosophical worldview can also be
characterized as such. We provide a philosophical interpretation of Godel's
rotating universe solutions to Einstein's field equations that is contrary to Godel's
own philosophical interpretation. We compare Godel's worldview with our
materialistic worldview. Our materialistic worldview developed from interpreting
Godelian type results, but stands in contrast to Godel's worldview. Finally, our
materialistic worldview serves to further explicate, by contrast , Godel's Platonic
world view.
