 The terms “Gödel’s realism” and “Gödel’s rationalism” must be prefaced with a disclaimer: there is no single view one could associate with each of these terms. Gödel’s realism underwent a complex development over time, in both the nature of its ontological claims as well as in Gödel’s level of commitment to those claims. Similarly Gödel’s rationalism underwent a complex development over time, from a tentative version of it at the beginning, to what was adjudged to be a fairly strong version of it in the 1950s. Around 1959 and for some time afterward Gödel fused his rationalistic program of developing exact philosophy with the phenomenological method as developed by Husserl.
