Description :
One of our greatest philosophers and scientists of the mind asks, where does
the self come from -- and how our selves can exist in the minds of others. Can
thought arise out of matter? Can self, soul, consciousness, I arise out of mere
matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here? I Am a Strange Loop
argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the strange
loop -a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. The most
central and complex symbol in your brain is the one called I. The I is the nexus
in our brain, one of many symbols seeming to have free will and to have
gained the paradoxical ability to push particles around, rather than the reverse.
How can a mysterious abstraction be real-or is our I merely a convenient
fiction? Does an I exert genuine power over the particles in our brain, or is it
helplessly pushed around by the laws of physics? These are the mysteries
tackled in I Am a Strange Loop, Douglas Hofstadter's first book-length journey
into philosophy since G 246 del, Escher, Bach. Compulsively readable and
endlessly thought-provoking, this is a moving and profound inquiry into the
nature of mind.
