this paper, I want to explore the origin of the modern conception of the idea of consistency in logic in the work of German mathematician David Hilbert. My interest in the development of the modern idea of consistency arises from my belief that an overriding concern with a strict requirement of consistency, borrowed primarily from the rigors of modern developments in logic, has prevented latter day twentieth century philosophers from producing philosophical systems of the type produced in earlier times.
