Dalla quarta di copertina

One of our greatest philosophers and scientists of the mind asks, where does the self come from - and how our selves can exist in the minds of others.

I Am a Strange Loop argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop"-a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. The most central and complex symbol in your brain
