Abstract: Abstract In a single big book entitled Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Hofstadter attempts, with both playful creativity and rigour, to effect a rapprochement between the ‘artificial microworlds’ of the computer and the perceptual—conceptual universe of the brain/mind. His approach is by way of formal-systems theory. It involves a polymathic synthesis of ideas from many disciplines and is preoccupied with meaning.
