Where is the personality born? And how can our personalities exist in someone else's mind? Is thought material? Are the personality, soul, consciousness, “I” material? If not, how can we be here? Douglas Hofstadter argues that the key to understanding personality is the "strange loop", a special kind of abstract closed entity contained in the brain.The main and most complex symbol is "I". This link is one of many symbols that seem to have free will and have acquired the paradoxical ability to direct particles in the brain. So how can a mysterious abstraction be real? Or is "I" a handy fiction? Does the “I” have power over other particles, or does it obediently follow the laws of physics?The author struggles with these riddles, for the first time since his own, undertook an original philosophical investigation of the essence of the human mind.
