VERLAGSTEXT: / / The great grail of psychologists and scientists for nearly a century has been to artificially replicate the thought patterns of the human mind. Challenging the notion that this can ever be achieved through state-of-the-art research or supercomputers, the legendary computer scientist and AI authority David Gelernter surprisingly turns to literature, hoping that the works of geniuses like Edgar Allan Poe, Karen Blixen, and Marilynn Robinson can answer many of our most fundamental questions about the origins of creativity. Based in the great introspective tradition of Descartes, The Tides of Mind not only helps decode some of the most mysterious wonders of the human mind but also revolutionizes our understanding of what it means to be human. / / / / AUS DEM INHALT: / / Preface xi / One The Tides of Mind / 1 (19) / Two Three Thirds of the Spectrum / 20 (35) / Three Every Day / 55 (49) / Four A Map / 104 (29) / Five Spectrum, Upper Third: Abstraction / 133 (16) / Six Spectrum, Middle Third: Creativity / 149 (24) / Seven Spectrum, Lower Third: Descent into Lost Time / 173 (32) / Eight Where It All Leads / 205 (36) / Nine Conclusions / 241 (12) / Acknowledgments 253 (2) / Literary Works Cited in the Text 255 (4) / Notes 259 (10) / Index 269
