 Description:

ABSTRACT
Mathematics is generally perceived as an exact science. Yet the disparate
thoughts establishing the exactness are replete with lots of technicalities that are,
ordinarily, not simple. Consequently, the major cognitive barrier that
philosophers of Mathematics encounter in the course of unraveling
mathematically related ideas has been the challenge of converting the
sophisticated cryptocodes associated with mathematical equations into a non
technical form for easy comprehension by both experts and nonexperts. The
specific objective of this article with the title, “Kurt Gödel’s Rebuttal of
Formalism in Mathematics,” is to present the incompleteness theorems of Kurt
Gödel in a nontechnical manner so as to simplify its intelligibility for both
philosophers and mathematicians
