(2015) Essays on Gödel's reception of Leibniz, Husserl and Brouwer, Dordrecht, Springer.
In his text "The modern development of the foundations of mathematics in the light of philosophy' from around 1961, Gödel announces a turn to Husserl's phenomenology to find the foundations of mathematics. In Gödel's archive there are two draft letters that shed some further light on the exact strategy that he formulated for himself in the early 1960s. Transcriptions of these letters are presented, together with some comments.
