I have just been reminded of this one by George and his Mobius Strip.
Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Gold Braid by Douglas Hofstadter I think it fair to say that this is a classic philosophical outing from a master, one woven around the creative thinking of three other masters in disparate fields but all unified by a compelling strand. As one who was fascinated when writing recursive routines in computer code, loved the complex masterpieces of JS Bach which I play often, and admired the mind-bending works of Escher and worked hard at understanding Gödel this book was a must have. I still enjoy happy hours immersed in this one, it never grows old. The only things missing were the almost psychedelic imagery of a Lewis Carroll or the sensible nonsense of an Edward Lear. Edit PS. One of my favourite record tracks was Marianne Faithfull's rendition of 'The Jabberwock' This post has been edited by Omega892R09: May 7 2008, 05:01 PM |
