Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
ISBN: 9780465026562 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 824 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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. Godel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more.

ISBN: 9780465024759 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since 1977, Hofstadter, the author of Godel, Escher, Bach, and his students have been developing computer models of discovery, creation, and analogical thought. What has emerged is a sophisticated and unorthodox vision of the mind in which perception, at an abstract level, is the key: perception of situations, of patterns, of patterns among patterns. This book conveys this bold vision to a broad public. Illustrations.

Le Ton Beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language
ISBN: 9780465086450 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 832 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Lost in an art--the art of translation. Thus, in an elegant anagram (translation = lost in an art), Pulitzer Prize-winning author and pioneering cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter hints at what led him to pen a deep personal homage to the witty sixteenth-century French poet Clement Marot."Le ton beau de Marot" literally means "The sweet tone of Marot," but to a French ear it suggests "Le tombeau de Marot"--that is, "The tomb of Marot." That double entendre foreshadows the linguistic exuberance of this book, which was sparked a decade ago when Hofstadter, under the spell of an...

Others such as William James and John Dewey argued that human planning was needed to direct social development and improve upon the natural order....
