Gödel, Escher, Bach: This Endless Garland

On the pages of this book, profound reflections on human thought and reason intertwine remarkably with the polyphonic fugues of J.S. Bach, the endless mazes in the pictures of M.C. Escher, the mathematical theorems of K.F. Gödel, and witty dialogues between characters of the paradox invented by the storyteller, logician, and mathematician Lewis Carroll. «Gödel, Escher, Bach» is a book not so much about the relationships between mathematics, art, and music, but about the nature of knowledge and the hidden neurological mechanisms that shape human thinking.
