Kurzbeschreibung
An original, endlessly thought-provoking, and controversial look at the nature of consciousness and identity argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop," a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains.Klappentext
Douglas Hofstadter's long-awaited return to the themes of Gödel, Escher, Bach- an original and controversial view of the nature of consciousness and identity. I AM A STRANGE LOOP argues that the key to understanding the level on which consciousness operates-the higher-order equivalent of the atom, so to speak-is the feedback loop. "(B)rilliant... the most gripping 400 pages I've read in years.... (I AM A STRANGE LOOP) zings with puns, anecdotes and analogies." -The Times, LondonBiografie
Douglas R. Hofstadter leitet das"Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition"an der Indiana University, Bloomington, an die er 1988 als Professor of Cognitive Science and Computer Science berufen wurde.
