Line 7:

Kurt Gödel was one of the most significant logicians of the [[20th century]] in terms of impact, and these works had immense impact upon scientific thinking at a time when many (such as [[Bertrand Russell]]) were attempting to codify logic and show its [[completeness]]. He published his most important result in [[1931]] at age of twenty-five when he worked at [[University of Vienna|Vienna University]], Austria.

From a certain point of view, Gödel is a father of the modern revolution. His fundamental proof that the language and truth are by definition incomplete set the tone for 21st century modern deconstructive thought trying to sort out what it means to be in a universe where truth is only local, and the meaning of terms is set by context.
