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.

Books arrived well packed and in condition described. They both had a very sticky residue on the cover (maybe from some labels that were peeled off?) but that responded well to cleaning with diluted IPA. Would recommend seller.

The book arrived very quickly, was in amazing condition, and the seller was very communicative. I would definitely buy from this seller again, because the price couldn't be beat, either. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas!
