Douglas Richard Hofstadter (born February 15, 1945) is an American professor of cognitive science whose research focuses on the sense of "I", consciousness, analogy-making, artistic creation, literary translation, and discovery in mathematics and physics. He is best known for his book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, first published in 1979. It won both the Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction and a National Book Award (at that time called The American Book Award) for Science. His 2007 book I Am a Strange Loop won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Science and Technology.

Este, como todos los textos de Douglas R Hofstadter es una maravilla de leer.

Quizás sea necesario leer algunos pasajes mas de un par de veces pero vale completamente la pena.

El libro está lleno de ideas interesantes y originales.

Ampliamente recomendado para la gente a la que le gusta pensar e ir un poco mas allá.

Outstanding and thought provoking- must read

Godel, Escher, Bach was an important book in my life, so I put Metamagical Themas on my to-read list. It took me a few years to get to it due to the intimidating length, but I finally had the chance to read it.

I can't speak highly enough of Metamagical Themas. I loved the broad range of topics. The depth and thoughtfulness of the work of the work are incredible. I think about things I read in this book on a daily basis in both my work and personal life.

Hofstadter Sparkes!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 2 March 2013

Verified Purchase

Hofstadter first wrote "Godel, Escher, and Bach", a magnum opus right out of the starting gate, followed up by the collection of essays in "The Mind's 'I'" that, while not surpassing "Godel, Escher & Bach", is regardless still a worthy second offering. And once again, Hofstadter's intellect & wit sparkle with "Metamagical Thema". If you enjoyed & were intrigued by Hofstadter's first two efforts, you will not be disappointed with his latest. Intelligent, intriguing and entertaining. Recreation and exercise for the intellect & the soul!
