This was obviously an overstatement, but easy to correct by inserting three words -From Frege to Gödel has been and remains an essential tool in the study of the history of mathematical logic, and even more, for the history and philosophy of logic and foundational research. As Quine said: [Van Heijenoort] made a contribution to mathematical logic that was second only to what Alonzo Church had contributed in molding the Journal of Symbolic Logic itself. … For us it was a boon just to have these papers brought together, to have xeroxes in our hands of the original German. But then, he did these painstaking translations and painstaking commentaries … a collaborative job, but very largely Van's own work. 1 Thus, it should not come as a surprise that this source book is reissued, after 35 years! There are many reasons to welcome the new paperback edition, not least the low price, making it accesible to interested students and to libraries throughout the world. I believe every single person who cares about the topics mentioned above does know and value highly van Heijenoort's achievement. The book not only collected and made available to the English-speaking public an impressively wide range of key works, in translations of very high quality. From Frege to Gödel contributed to establishing higher standards for editorial work in collections on logic and mathematics, as witnessed e.g. by the Collected Works of Kurt Gödel, explicitly modeled upon its example. 2 Particularly noticeable is the quality of the editorial notes that introduce each paper, always clear, deep, and yet concise. These were written by leading logicians and philosophers like Quine, H. Wang, Dreben, and Ch. Parsons, besides the editor himself. 1 Quoted in [2], 281. 2 [3], vol. I, p. iv (preface).

The aim is to contribute to an understanding of the aims and methodological orientation of Gödel's work, and to deal in some detail with their philosophical consequences. Thus, a perspective is offered on how the philosophy of mathematics changed between the dates of birth and death of this great mathematical logician.
