Alfred Tarski（ISBN=9780521714013） chm 下载 lrf pdf 阿里云 azw3 kindle 网盘

Alfred Tarski, one of the greatest logicians of all time, is

widely thought of as 'the man who defined truth'. His work on the

concepts of truth and logical consequence are cornerstones of

modern logic, influencing developments in mathematics, philosophy,

linguistics, and computer science. Tarski was a charismatic teacher

and zealous promoter of his view of logic as the foundation of all

rational thought, a bon vivant and a womanizer, who played the

'great man' to the hilt. Born in Warsaw in 1901 to Jewish parents,

he changed his name and converted to Catholicism but was never able

to obtain a professorship in his home country. A fortuitous trip to

the United States at the outbreak of World War II saved his life

and turned his career around, even while it separated him from his

family for years. By the war's end he was established as a

professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.

There Tarski built an empire in logic and methodology that

attracted students and distinguished researchers from all over the

world. From the cafés of Warsaw and Vienna to the mountains and

deserts of California, this first full-length biography places

Tarski in the social, intellectual, and historical context of his

times and presents a frank, vivid picture of a personally and

professionally passionate man - interlaced with an account of his

major scientific achievements.
