«El sueño de la razón: la lógica matemática y sus paradojas» is the popular science essay by Javier Fresán, published by RBA in hardcover (141 pages).
In the first third of the 20th century, Bertrand Russell and Kurt Gödel questioned the foundations of mathematics with results that revealed contradictions and limits in formal logic. Javier Fresán explains these crises, the debate about the supposed defeat of reason, and how they opened the way to new fields such as computer science and fuzzy logic.
Originally published in 2010, it belongs to the collection 'El mundo es matemático', number 27, and includes illustrations and graphs.
A popular work for readers interested in the history of mathematics and the philosophical implications of logic.
