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. Goedel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of
fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning,
reduction, recursion, and much more.
