A lot of good stuff here, but as a collection from many different writers it's not exactly coherent. ( ) Il libro è una raccolta di saggi, poesie e racconti a cura di Douglas Hofstadter e Daniel Dennett. Il libro è stato pubblicato nel 1981 e include contributi di un gruppo eterogeneo di scrittori, artisti e intellettuali, tra cui Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut e Noam Chomsky. "The Mind's I" esplora una vasta gamma di argomenti relativi alla mente e alla coscienza umana, tra cui la creatività, l'immaginazione, la percezione, l'autocoscienza e la natura della realtà. Il libro include un mix di riflessioni personali, intuizioni scientifiche e filosofiche e opere creative di narrativa e poesia. Il titolo del libro, "The Mind's I", si riferisce all'idea che la mente umana sia un luogo di infinite possibilità ed esplorazioni. I collaboratori del libro offrono le loro prospettive uniche sulla mente e il suo rapporto con il mondo, e la raccolta nel suo insieme funge da celebrazione del potere e del potenziale della mente umana. This book was a lot of fun to read. It's a collection of science fiction short stories and mostly-easy-to-read philosophical essays about consciousness, perception, artificial intelligence, etc. It was published 30 years ago, but it shows almost no signs of being outdated, probably because these are some of the most difficult problems to address in both science and philosophy.
More philosophical fun and games, some of a very high order, from the authors of, respectively, Godel, Escher, Bach, and Brainstorms. Actually, this is an anthology, and there are some 17 other contributors, but Hofstadter and Dennett take turns commenting on all 27 pieces, so they can claim to have "composed and arranged" it. (...) The writing is without exception polished or at least clear and readable, the topic is steadily interesting, and the dialectical fireworks make a fascinating spectacle.
With contributions from Jorge Luis Borges, Richard Dawkins, John Searle, and Robert Nozick, The Mind's I explores the meaning of self and consciousness through the perspectives of literature, artificial intelligence, psychology, and other disciplines. In selections that range from fiction to scientific speculations about thinking machines, artificial intelligence, and the nature of the brain, Hofstadter and Dennett present a variety of conflicting visions of the self and the soul as explored through the writings of some of the twentieth century's most renowned thinkers.
