Description
Surfaces and Essences Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking by Douglas Hofstadter and Emmanuel Sander
This major new work from the author of Gdel, Escher, Bach and I Am a Strange Loop presents a compelling argument that analogy is the basis for all human thoughts.
Through a detailed exploration of the role of analogy in cognition, the authors shed new light on the fundamental nature of human thinking and its relationship to language and science.
