Solomon Feferman

Solomon Feferman (born 13 December 1928) is an American philosopher and mathematician with works in mathematical logic. He was born in New York City, New York, and received his Ph.D. in 1957 from the University of California, Berkeley under Alfred Tarski. He is a Stanford University professor.

Feferman was awarded the Schock Prize in logic and philosophy in 2003 and delivered the Tarski Lectures in 2006. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Feferman was the editor-in-chief of the Collected Works of Kurt Gödel.
