POSSIBLE PHILOSOPHICAL INSPIRATION FOR GODEL'S INCOMPLETENESS---


"Now we seem to have made the problem worse than ever, for now we have to ask: How can one intuit anything a priori? An intuition is a representation of a sort that ·ordinarily· depends directly on the presence of the object. ·There’s no problem about an intuition of an object that is present to one at the time, or of an object that has been present at an earlier time" ---Immanuel Kant, in a section about mathematics. (The Prelegomena, p. 17 / Main Transcendental Problem, Part 8),
