Synopsis "Yo soy un Extraño Bucle"

No es poca cosa investigar si una identidad alma, conciencia o «yo» puede emerger de la simple materia. De la sopa de particulas que, a nivel mas profundo, es el cerebro humano, ascendemos a una selva de neuronas y, aun mas alla, a una red de abstracciones que denominamos «simbolos», el mas complejo y trascendental de los cuales es el «yo», ese extraño bucle en el cerebro en el que se realimentan los niveles simbolicos y fisicos. Curiosamente los simbolos parecen poseer libre albedrio y tener la paradojica propiedad de impulsar a las particulas y no al reves. ¿Como puede ser real una misteriosa abstraccion como esa? ¿Como reflejamos a otros seres en nuestra mente? ¿Pueden coexistir en nuestro cerebro diversos bucles extraños de distinta «intensidad»? A preguntas y misterios como estos se enfrenta Douglas Hofstadter en este apasionante ensayo trufado de las anecdotas, metaforas y analogias que le han hecho famoso... y comprensible para el profano. Un estilo de escribir ensayos ameno, provocativo, comprometido que, como los clasicos de la filosofia, da que pensar. / This is no small thing to investigate whether an identity-soul or consciousness' I '- can emerge from simple matter. From the soup of particles, a deeper level, is the human brain, ascend to a jungle of neurons and, further, to a network of abstractions we call ""symbols"", the more complex and momentous of which is the 'I', that strange loop in the brain where it is ultimately the physical and symbolic levels. Curiously symbols seem to hold free and have the paradoxical property of the particles to drive and not the other way around. How can it be a real mysterious abstraction like that? How do we reflect to other beings in our minds? Can they co-exist in our brains different loops of various strangers' intensity '? For questions and mysteries as they faced Douglas Hofstadter in this fascinating test of truffle anecdotes, metaphors and analogies that have made him famous ... and understandable to the layman. A style of writing essays, entertaining, provocative, committed, which, like the classics of philosophy, it gives food for thought.
