Introduction
Kurt Friedrich Gödel was an Austrian born, and later he was an American. He is a mathematician, logician, and philosopher. He established the modern, mathematical era in mathematical logic. He is one of the most significant logicians in the history. Kurt made an immense impact on philosophical and scientific thinking during 20th century, a time where other guys like as Russell, David Hilbert, and A.N. Whitehead were pioneering the use of logic to understand the mathematics foundations. His Incompleteness theorems, made the most significant impact on mathematical logic. He published his two incompleteness theorems during the age of 25, in 1931, one year after he done his doctorate at the University of Vienna.
Early Life
Kurt Gödel was born in the year 1906, in Brunn, Austria-Hungary to the ethnic German family. His father name is Rudolf Gödel whose family were from Vienna.

After Kurt death, society was established under his name ‘Kurt Gödel Society’ in 1987 which is a worldwide association for the promotion of research in the areas like logic, mathematics and philosophy.
Summary
Kurt Gödel was an independent logical thinker and a strong personality in the fields of philosophy and mathematics. In this paper we discussed many of his thesis work, popular theorems, his achievements and finally his contribution of work towards logics and mathematics.

Gluckel's memoir enables a reader to gain an understanding of what a widowed Jewish woman would face in Christian dominated Germany both from a personal and public perspective throughout seventeenth and eighteenth century. Throughout her memoirs Gluckel describes the worries that a mother would have over her children, her relations with both her first and second husband while addressing the responsibilities she faced as a businesswoman. Gluckel arranged her life narrative in seven books. The first four books and the opening section of the fifth book have been written consecutively in the months or year of mourning after Haim's (her first husbands) death in 1689. The rest of Book 5 was written during the decade of the 1690's but given final form after her second marriage. The sixth book was written in 1702 or shortly afterward, during the initial shock of Hirsch Levy's (Gluckel's second husbands) bankruptcy in Metz, and the seventh and final book was composed in 1715, during her second widowhood, with a final paragraph from 1719 before her death. Gluckel has conveniently broken down her narratives in seven books, which help the reader clearly identify with individual aspects occurring in her life. In her memoirs Gluckel thoroughly encompasses a social, cultural and economical perspective about her life as a Jewish woman while contrasting it to Christian ways which dominated Germany during both 17th and 18th century.
Wiesel and his father were harshly testing their bond as a family during the progression of their stay. It is remarkable how such appalling conditions can bring people together in ways unimaginable. Before Wiesel came, he never did much regarding his father. While they were at the camp, Wiesel couldn’t stand being without his father. Wiesel is surprised to see how the camp changed his father. He recalls on how one of the first nights at the camp, he saw his father cry for the first time. Wiesel’s relationship with his father has been so impactful on

In the beginning the medical institution “Am Spiegelgrund” is shown, which is specialized for handicapped, invalid children which have bad genes in the opinions of the psychiatrists. They were lodged in the clinic and treated by the education- and euthanasia programs, just because they are different as normal children and do not fit in the nazis perception.
Kurtz was an English man who traveled to the Congo in search of excitement, money and experience. To many people back home, he was known to be a loving intelligent young man. In Congo he was also known as being very intelligent, but also as being insane. The question is what happened to Kurtz how and why he let his self go insane. In a way you can say that he found the “heart” of his “darkness,” embraced it and could not escape it.
Towards the end of his life he was experiencing severe debt and often had to beg his friends and acquaintances for loans. Most say he became ill from fever and died at the age of 35. Some say however that he was poisoned by an enemy or debt collector. Perhaps his fame and influence had something to do with it? You could see a connection with influential musicians and untimely deaths (John Lennon, Tupac). Since at the time it was common law to be buried in a mass grave we may never truly understand his death.

Art Spiegelman's Maus II is a book that tells more than the story of one family's struggle to live thought the Holocaust. It gives us a look into the psyche of a survivor's child and how the Holocaust affected him and many other generations of people who were never there at all.

Spiegelman demonstrates the affects of being a survivor's child in many ways throughout the book. Examining some of these will give us a better understanding of what it was like to be a part of the Holocaust.
On Kurtz’s deathbed, he was prepared to leave the darkness of his life behind. He judged his selfish, greedy, and heartless past which caused his words, “The horror!
Through his psychiatrist work with brain-damaged soldiers, Fritz Perls (Husband to Laura Pearls), established that an approach which would treat patient as functional ‘whole’ would be more effective. He therefore diverted from his traditional psychoanalytic practices, to develop gestalt which he believed would be less discrete. Apart from Sigmund Freud, Reich works on self-understanding and the process of personality change heavily influenced his theories and concepts. Differential thinking as presented by philosopher Friedlander, also played notable and influential role. Fritz nonetheless did...
