Description
This book explores the connections between formal systems, consciousness, and intelligence. It examines how life and thought can emerge from basic structures, using the works of mathematician Kurt Gödel, artist M.C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach as metaphors. Hofstadter discusses concepts such as recursion, meaning, and the potential for computers to achieve human-like intelligence. The narrative delves into cognitive science by questioning the nature of thought and the relationship between minds and machines.
