The Mind's I
by Douglas R. Hofstadter (editor), Daniel C. Dennett (editor)
Description
An illuminating collection of essays, stories, and thought experiments exploring the nature of consciousness, identity, free will, and the self. Drawing on philosophy, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and literature, it asks whether minds can be understood as machines—and what it means for a machine, or a person, to possess an “I.” The contributors challenge familiar assumptions through imaginative scenarios and rigorous argument, offering a provocative examination of thought, perception, and personal identity. Both intellectually ambitious and accessible, the book invites readers to reconsider where the boundaries between mind, matter, and meaning truly lie.
