Solomon Feferman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solomon Feferman (b. December 13, 1928) is an American philosopher and mathematician with major works in mathematical logic. He was born in New York City, New York, and received his Ph.D. in 1957 from the University of California, Berkeley under Alfred Tarski. He is a Stanford University professor.
Feferman was awarded the Schock Prize in logic and philosophy in 2003 and delivered the Tarski Lectures in 2006.
Feferman was the editor-in-chief of the Collected Works of Kurt Gödel, and is one of the two people to famously discuss the over-reaching nature of ZFC, in that it is "too strong" for the majority of everyday mathematics.
