«Gödel, Escher, Bach: Un eterno y grácil bucle» is the essay by Douglas R. Hofstadter published in paperback by Maxi-Tusquets (920 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from Escher's prints and Bach's music, Hofstadter connects Gödel's incompleteness theorem with artificial intelligence, logic, and language. He reflects on the self-reference of systems —a program, a language, the mind—, that loop in which something tries to express itself about itself.
Published in 2007, this edition belongs to the Fábula collection (no. 269). Hofstadter's work originally appeared in 1979 and won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1980.
A reference work in interdisciplinary science communication, for those seeking to connect philosophy, mathematics, art, and music.
