Hao Wang mantuvo un contacto estrecho con Gödel en su última época en el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princetown, que acogía también a Einstein. "Reflexiones sobre Kurt Gödel" estudía sus relaciones con el círculo de Viena, especialemtne con Carnap y con Wittgenstein. El autor establece el contexto general en el que se plantean las contribuciones fundamentales de Kurt Gödel al problema de la completud de la lógica elemental, los límites de los formalismos, del concepto de conjunto, la consitencia de independencia de la hipótesis del continuo de Cantor, así como otras cuestiones más generales de filosofía, metafísica y religión.

Newton/Descartes. Einstein/Gödel. The seventeenth century had its scientific and philosophical geniuses. Why shouldn't ours have them as well? Kurt Gödel was indisputably one of the greatest thinkers of our time, and in this first extended treatment of his life and work, Hao Wang, who was in close contact with Gödel in his last years, brings out the full subtlety of Gödel's ideas and their connection with grand themes in the history of mathematics and philosophy. The subjects he covers include the completeness of elementary logic, the limits of formalization, the problem of evidence, the concept of set, the philosophy of mathematics, time, and relativity theory, metaphysics and religion, as well as general ideas on philosophy as a worldview. Wang, whose reflections on his colleague also serve to clarify his own philosophical thoughts, distinguishes his ideas from those of Gödel's and on points of agreement develops Gödel's views further. The book provides a generous array of information on and interpretation of the two main phases of Gödel's career - the years between 1924 and 1939 at the University of Vienna, which were marked by intense mathematical creativity, and the period from 1940 to his death in 1978, during which he was affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, a time in which Gödel's interests steadily shifted from questions of logic to metaphysics. And it also examines Gödel's relations with the Vienna Circle, his philosophical differences with Carnap and Wittgenstein, the intimate and mutually fruitful friendship with Einstein, and the periodic bouts of depression for which Gödel was hospitalized a number of times over the course of his life.
