Black Cat - Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke

A ghost, though invisible, still is like a place
your sight can knock on, echoing; but here
within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze
will be absorbed and utterly disappear:

just as a raving madman, when nothing else
can ease him, charges into his dark night
howling, pounds on the padded wall, and feels
the rage being taken in and pacified.

She seems to hide all looks that have ever fallen
into her, so that, like an audience,
she can look them over, menacing and sullen,
and curl to sleep with them. But all at once

as if awakened, she turns her face to yours;
and with a shock, you see yourself, tiny,
inside the golden amber of her eyeballs
suspended, like a prehistoric fly.

分享内容:哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫:集异璧之大成

集异璧-GEB,是数学家哥德尔、版画家艾舍尔、音乐家巴赫三个名字的前缀。《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫书:集异璧之大成》是在英语世界中有极高评价的科普著作,曾获得普利策文学奖。它通过对哥德尔的数理逻辑,艾舍尔的版画和巴赫的音乐三者的综合阐述,引人入胜地介绍了数理逻辑学、可计算理论、人工智能学、语言学、遗传学、音乐、绘画的理论等方面,构思精巧、含义深刻、视野广阔、富于哲学韵味。

主要讨论如下几章:关于什么是意义ch3,6,9,11;完备性定理,ch4;还有ch16,18,19

###谷雨按: GEB 一书是美国印第安纳大学教授 Douglas Richard Hofstadter(中文名:侯世达)最著名的科普著作。 全书深入地探讨了数学、哲学、和艺术最本质的联系,阅读的感觉如同跟随作者一步步的探寻蕴藏在大千世界滚滚洪流之下最本原的真理,而本书充满思辨的讨论也是一场人类智慧的星际穿越。
