Synopsis
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll Douglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of "maps" or links between formal systems. However, according to Hofstadter, the formal system that underlies all mental activity transcends the system that supports it. If life can grow out of the formal chemical substrate of the cell, if consciousness can emerge out of a formal system of firing neurons, then so too will computers attain human intelligence. Godel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more., Winner of the Pulitzer Prize A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll Douglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of "maps" or links between formal systems.

    The voice recorder looked just like what was described, it was packed safely and was delivered in a very timely manner. This voice recorder is valuable to me because it is not manufactured anymore so I’m happy that the seller had exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

    The book is a used book in great! Condition. No writing or highlighting in the book. I did not realize how BIG this book is, lol! I skimmed through the book. It looks like a fantastic read. I am excited to start.

    Text block in good shape, plastic library book cover is understandable since the book is really long but still makes handling/reading the book somewhat cumbersome
