About Godel, Escher, Bach

<p><i>A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of&nbsp;<b>Lewis Carroll.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>This groundbreaking&nbsp;<b>Pulitzer Prize-winning</b>&nbsp;book sets the standard for interdisciplinary writing, exploring the patterns and symbols in the thinking of mathematician<b>&nbsp;Kurt Godel</b>, artist&nbsp;<b>M.C. Escher,</b>&nbsp;and composer&nbsp;<b>Johann Sebastian Bach</b>.&nbsp;</i></p><p>By exploring common themes in the lives and works of logician Kurt Gödel, artist M. C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach, the book expounds on concepts fundamental to mathematics, symmetry, and intelligence. Through illustration and analysis, the book discusses how, through self-reference and formal rules, systems can acquire meaning despite being made of "meaningless" elements. It also discusses what it means to communicate, how knowledge can be represented and stored, the methods and limitations of symbolic representation, and even the fundamental notion of "meaning" itself.<br></p><p><b>Douglas R. Hofstadter</b>&nbsp;<i>is College of Arts and Sciences Professor of computer science and cognitive science at Indiana University and author of the Pulitzer-prize winning "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid".</i></p>
