元问题
八点多起来校稿子,如厕的空儿读了点儿Goldstein的Incompleteness, 从开头儿读到“元问题”的问题:
一个问题,要么是“问题”,要么是“元问题”。然而,
Gödel’s theorems are spectacular exceptions to this general rule. They are at once mathematical and metamathematical. They have all the rigor of something that is a priori proved, and yet they establish a metaconclusion. It is as if someone has painted a picture that manages to answer the basic questions of aesthetics; a landscape or portrait that represents the general nature of beauty and perhaps even explains why it moves us the way it does. It is extraordinary that a mathematical result should have anything at all to say about the nature of mathematical truth in general.
——一个数学结果居然能涉及一般数学真理的本质,真是了不起!
