Abstract

In the present work I attempt to describe Evandro Agazzi’s research on philosophy of logic and mathematics. In particular, after a general introduc­tion to his works, I focus my analysis on the philosophical implications of Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems. This is because they have always remained a con­stant point of interest in Agazzi’s research. In particular, I wish to offer a tribute to Agazzi’s mastership by analysing Godel’s thought on the consequences of his Incompleteness Theorems for the philosophy of mind. That is part of the research developed by Fano and I (Epistemologia 36(2):207-232, 2013) after Agazzi’s con­ference in Cesena (2006) and it is for me a way to honour Evandro Agazzi’s con­stant stimulus to the researches in philosophy of logic and mathematics.
