Mind's Eye

Mind's Eye Book Description There are some philosophical questions that have occupied everyone's mind from time to time: What is the mind? Is it possible to think of it separately from the body? Is the one who thinks or feels material? Who am I? Do we really have free will? Could everything be determined? These questions are as intriguing as they are confusing. As a matter of fact, Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett write, “We designed the present book as an attempt to reveal and clarify these confusions.” In this regard, they reveal issues such as self, consciousness, and the other with a multifaceted and interdisciplinary approach by referring to different texts. The Eye of the Mind, which contains important texts of a wide range of authors from Jorge Luis Borges to Alan Turing, from Stanislaw Lem to Richard Dawkins, John Searle, and Thomas Nagel, takes a different dimension with the comments of Hofstadter and Dennett. and it is important in terms of not only gaining insight but also pointing out the extensions of the problem.
