    Keywords: People

Douglas Hofstadter is an author.

Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies is one of his books.


--DJ: His most famous book is Gödel, Escher, Bach (an Eternal Golden Braid) where he aims at putting together "the hardware of the brain with the software of the mind", using a lot of "tools", as funny dialogues between Achilles and the Tortoise, and various mind-boggling riddles and inventive discussions.

Another great book of his is The Mind's I, written together with Daniel Dennett. They comment articles, short stories, etc. by a number of authors.
I loved mostly a story by Raymond Smullyan: "Is God a Taoist?".
