    Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

    Posted By: AlenMiler
    Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

    Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter
    English | 1981 | ISBN: 0140055797 | 777 pages | PDF | 22 Mb

    A Musico-Logical Offering. The book opens with the story of Bach's Musical
    Offering. Bach made an impromptu visit to King Frederick the Great of Prussia, and was
    requested to improvise upon a theme presented by the King. His improvisations formed the basis
    of that great work. The Musical Offering and its story form a theme upon which I "improvise"
    throughout the book, thus making a sort of "Metamusical Offering". Self-reference and the
    interplay between different levels in Bach are discussed: this leads to a discussion of parallel
    ideas in Escher's drawings and then Gödel’s Theorem. A brief presentation of the history of logic
    and paradoxes is given as background for Gödel’s Theorem. This leads to mechanical reasoning
    and computers, and the debate about whether Artificial Intelligence is possible. I close with an
    explanation of the origins of the book-particularly the why and wherefore of the Dialogues.
