[quote="CaP bUsTa":31990]Soli what are all those books about..my dad has read a few of them and is wanting me to read The Minds I and Reason and REsponsibility...what are they bout[/quote:31990]
Reason and Responsibility is a collection of philosophical essays by a
variety of philosophers. The Mind's I is a book on the problem of self
and self-consciousness. A New Kind of Science is Wolfram's masterpiece
and goes further into explaining cellular automata. Zero is basically a
biography of the number/place-holder and how it has evolved through
time. Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rands masterpiece; basically 1000 pages
of filler for 70 that explain her philosophy, Objectivism. Theories of
Everything is a book about the problems we are and will encounter in
having this unified theory. I haven't read The Selfish Gene so I won't
say anything about it...
