In Paradox and Infinity, you will be introduced to highlights from the technical side of philosophy--from the higher infinite to Gödel's Theorem.
The class is divided into three modules:
- Time Travel and Free Will: Learn about whether time travel is logically possible, and whether it is compatible with free will.
- Infinity: Learn about how some infinities are bigger than others, and explore the mind-boggling hierarchy of bigger and bigger infinities.
- Computability and Gödel’s Theorem: Learn about how some mathematical functions are so complex, that no computer could possibly compute them. Use this result to prove Gödel’s famous Incompleteness Theorem.
