Le relazioni nascoste tra linguaggi formali, musica, arte e umanità

Un approccio giornalistico alla spiegazione del celeberrimo teorema di Gödel, cercando (e spesso trovando) paralleli e incroci con la musica del maestro dei maestri (J. S. Bach) e l'arte di uno degli artisti del '900 dalle opere più enigmatiche. Richiede qualche nozione scientifica per poter essere digerito.

Das war wohl nix

Ich habe dieses gehypte Buch voller positiver Erwartung begonnen und bin bitter enttäuscht worden. Es ist unglaublich langweilig und für mich inhaltlich total irrelavant, abgesehen davon, das ich nix verstanden habe. Ist wohl nur etwas für Mathe-Nerds. Nach 100 Seiten habe ich aufgegeben.

Review of 'Gödel, Escher, Bach : an eternal golden braid' on 'Goodreads'
