	Kurt Goldstein
		In the course of his studies of brain-damaged soldiers during World War I, Goldstein became aware of the inability of contemporary biology and medicine to explain both the impact of such injuries and the astonishing adjustments that patients made to them.
		Goldstein was especially concerned with the breakdown of organization and the failure of central controls that take place in catastrophic responses to situations such as physical or mental illness.
		Goldstein's theses in The Organism have had an important impact on philosophical and psychological thought throughout this century, as can be seen in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Georges Canguilhem, Ernst Cassirer, and Ludwig Binswanger.

	The Nature Institute - Seeing Things Right-side Up: The Implications of Kurt Goldstein's Holism
		Goldstein heralded an approach to science that is sorely needed in the twenty-first century.
		A colleague of his wrote after his death: "It would be petty to raise the question of whether Kurt Goldstein stood first chronologically or logically among the proponents of holistic thinking, for the essential fact is that he went all the way" (3, p.
		Goldstein knew that some people might take this description to be edging towards a kind of mysticism.

	The Processing Period
		Goldstein, a neuropsychiatrist and student of Wernicke's, is known for his studies of aphasic patients.
		Of particular relevance to Americans reading Goldstein were his ideas of symbol formation, his concept of concrete and abstract attitudes to account for literalness in aphasia, and his notion of inner speech, a level of language located in processing somewhere between perceived and motor speech.
		Goldstein's theories and studies in aphasia had their counterpart in studies of normal language in children done by Heinz Werner.

	Kurt Goldstein
		Goldstein's book discussed his views on how the organism is a system that struggles to cope with the challenges of the environment and itself. He believed the organism could not be divided into "mind" and "body" because nothing is independent within the organism. It is the whole that reacts to the environment.

	Self actualization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Self actualization, a term said to have been originated by Kurt Goldstein, is the concept that humans, who have a dominant or auxiliary extraverted intuition function, have an instinctual need to make the most of their unique abilities.
		The term was made popular by Abraham Maslow via his hierarchy of needs model, in which he placed self-actualization at the highest level of human development, attainable only after the more basic needs of physiological requirements, safety/security, love/belongingness, and self-esteem have been fulfilled.
		The word itself comes from Kurt Goldstein who applied it to his work.

	the William Alanson White Institute : In Memory - Steven A. Mitchell
		Goldstein warns us against the dangers of "zoomorphism", by which we look to establish our own nature by arbitrarily assigning one to "animals" and then reasoning from "lower" to "higher".
		Animals may not be so simple, Goldstein warns; in thinking we understand them, we may be projecting aspects of ourselves, using them as a distorted mirror in a way which has nothing to do with them at all.
		Surely, Goldstein suggests, people do all these things, in certain specific circumstances, but it is not at all clear whether in the absence of those circumstances, these motives are operative and "driving" the organism.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Incompleteness, by Rebecca Goldstein, Hardcover
		Rebecca Goldstein, a MacArthur-winning novelist and philosopher, explains the philosophical vision that inspired Gödel's mathematics, and reveals the ironic twist that led to radical misinterpretations of his theorems by the trendier intellectual fashions of the day, from positivism to postmodernism.
		She says they belong to a branch of mathematics known as formal logic or mathematical logic, which was considered mathematically suspect until his achievement; and have far reaching implications for the understanding of the nature of truth, knowledge, and certainty.
		Goldstein is an excellent choice for this installment of Norton's Great Discoveries series, which seeks to explain the ways of science to humanists.

	Edge: GÖDEL AND THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICAL TRUTH
		GOLDSTEIN: One of the strange things that happened in the twentieth century was that results from mathematics and physics got co-opted into the assault on objectivity and rationality.
		GOLDSTEIN: Many of those who watched the two of them walking back home together every day from the Institute for Advanced Study deep in conversation—acquaintances of theirs told me they only wanted to speak to one another—wondered how two such different people could be so bonded.
		But what bonded them was that, first of all, they were so keenly interested in the meta-questions of their respective fields, those interpretive questions regarding what is it that these fields are really doing and how is it that they manage to do it.

		Kurt Godel (1906-1978) had one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, and one of the strangest.
		Goldstein describes the many paradoxes of Godel's life and draws a connection between Godel's psychological quirks and his philosophical orientation as a Platonist with a deep belief that underlaying the many irrational aspects of the observable world is a real world of truth and rationality.
		Goldstein, Kurt was just five years old when he first realized that he was much more intelligent than his parents.

	Boston.com / A&E / Books / A haunted thinker and his legacy
		Kurt Gödel was a 5-foot-6-inch titan, a reticent introvert who ''produced the most loquacious theorems in the history of mathematics," to quote novelist Rebecca Goldstein.
		But Goldstein argues -- very convincingly -- that Gödel was in fact a Platonist who believed the universe possesses an abstract reality graspable not through the senses but through reason.
		Goldstein comes as close as she can get when she writes, ''It must have been an extraordinarily exhilarating experience." That's about all we get.

	IT Conversations: Rebecca Goldstein
		Rebecca Goldstein is a MacArthur Fellow and the author of "Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Godel.”
		Philosophy professor, novelist, and MacArthur Fellow Rebecca Goldstein reinterprets the evidence and restores to Gödel's famous idea the meaning he claimed he intended: that there is a mathematical truth--an objective certainty--underlying everything and existing independently of human thought.
		Gödel, Goldstein maintains, was an intellectual heir to Plato whose sense of alienation from the positivists and postmodernists of the 1940s was only ameliorated by his friendship with another intellectual giant, Albert Einstein.

		Such an error occurs when Goldstein (on page 82) says that Olga Neurath was the sister of Otto Neurath and the wife of Hans Hahn, when it was actually the other way around: She was Neurath's wife and Hahn's sister.
		Goldstein's book needed, prior to publication, a reader who knew mathematical logic and its history and who could correct both conceptual and factual flaws (such as the repeated misspelling of the Austrian logician Georg Kreisel's name as "Kreisl").
		The mathematical logician Simon Kochen, whom Goldstein thanks in her acknowledgments, did not serve as such a reader; he has informed me that he did not read the entire manuscript but merely pointed out certain errors in her outline of the incompleteness theorems.

		Goldstein upheld a field theoretical approach to the treatment of brain injury, advocating the creative adjustments he saw whole people making in the face of traumatic neurological injury.
		Joseph LeDoux has done this, and therefore, he is in line with Kurt Goldstein, Kurt Lewin, and the early Gestalt theorists who began looking for ways in which people make creative, adaptive adjustments to their environments.

		Goldstein had extensive contact with Kohler, Koffka and Wertheimer in Germany; praised their work; and used Gestalt terminology in his writings.
		Perls, et al., grouped Lewin and Goldstein with the Gestalt theorists, on the basis of their common concern with naturally occurring wholes, and the use of figure/ground terminology.

	The Organism - The MIT Press
		Kurt Goldstein (1878-1965) was already an established neuropsychologist when he emigrated from Germany to the United States in the 1930s.
		This book, his magnum opus and widely regarded as a modern classic in psychology and biology, grew out of his dissatisfaction with traditional natural science techniques for analyzing living beings.
		It offers a broad introduction to the sources and range of application of the "holistic" or "organismic" research program that has since become a standard part of biological thought.

		Here is a more mundane contribution professor Goldstein could make in a future novel: She could write a new novel, tangentially explaining in a "simple" way, the fairly recent "proof" of Fermat's Last Theorem, presumably "understood" by only a handful of people in the world, if that many.
		This is the theorem which went unsolved for centuries, that no solution to the equation exists in integers where x(n)+ y(n)= z(n), where x(n) means x to the nth power, and n is an integer greater than 2.
		This would be another suggested subject for professor Goldstein to take up in another novel; i.e., the prejudice of the orthodoxy against Otto Warburg for NOT leaving Germany.
