Netherlands – August 15, 2009, De Vliegende Hollander, ISBN 978-9-5.Greece – October 20, 2008, Ikaros Publications, ISBN 97-67-9.It is on the one hand a tragedy of the hubris of rationalism, which descends inextricably on madness, and on the other an origin myth of the computer. Moore, Alfred North Whitehead, David Hilbert, Gottlob Frege, Henri Poincaré, Kurt Gödel, and Alan Turing.Ī parallel tale, set in present-day Athens, records the creators’ disagreement on the meaning of the story, thus setting in relief the foundational quest as a quintessentially modern adventure. Russell's life story, depicted by Logicomix, is itself a journey through the goals and struggles, and triumph and tragedy shared by many great thinkers of the 20th century: Georg Cantor, Ludwig Wittgenstein, G. The narrator of the story is Bertrand Russell, who stands as an icon of many of these themes: a deeply sensitive and introspective man, Russell was not just a philosopher and pacifist, he was also one of the prominent figures in the foundational quest. These are in turn played out just upstage of the momentous historical events of the era and the ideological battles which gave rise to them. Logicomix intertwines the philosophical struggles with the characters' own personal turmoil. Set between the late 19th century and the present day, the graphic novel Logicomix is based on the story of the so-called 'foundational quest' in mathematics. The book was originally written in English, and was translated into Greek by author Apostolos Doxiadis for the release in Greece, which preceded the UK and U.S. Character design and artwork are by Alecos Papadatos and color is by Annie Di Donna.

Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth is a graphic novel about the foundational quest in mathematics, written by Apostolos Doxiadis, author of Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture, and at the time Berkeley's theoretical computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou.
