I've read it in french and loved it -- I now put a face and a life on Russel... Best, E. -------- Message d'origine-------- De: math-fun-bounces@mailman.xmission.com de la part de Thane Plambeck Date: jeu. 29/04/2010 05:34 À: math-fun Objet : [math-fun] Logicomix Anyone have an opinion about this? I just bought it. **************** http://www.logicomix.com/ Covering a span of sixty years, the graphic novel *Logicomix* was inspired by the epic story of the quest for the Foundations of Mathematics. This was a heroic intellectual adventure most of whose protagonists paid the price of knowledge with extreme personal suffering and even insanity. The book tells its tale in an engaging way, at the same time complex and accessible. It grounds the philosophical struggles on the undercurrent of personal emotional turmoil, as well as the momentous historical events and ideological battles which gave rise to them. The role of narrator is given to the most eloquent and spirited of the story's protagonists, the great logician, philosopher and pacifist Bertrand Russell. It is through his eyes that the plights of such great thinkers as Frege, Hilbert, Poincaré, Wittgenstein and Gödel come to life, and through his own passionate involvement in the quest that the various narrative strands come together. -- Thane Plambeck tplambeck@gmail.com http://thaneplambeck.typepad.com/ _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
