The Gödel editorial project began after Gödel's death in 1978 as an effort to compile Kurt Gödel's published and unpublished works that influenced how mathematicians, philosophers, and historians understand logic, physics, philosophy, the foundations of computer science, and other aspects of the foundations of mathematics. The project resulted in the publication of five volumes called the Collected Works of Kurt Gödel, the final two volumes of which were published in 2003.
