Review: I notice that the other reviews of this book are all over the map. That distribution of opinion matches my own feelings. I found the first part of this book delightful and informative, as good as the author's previous book Mathematics: The Science of Patterns. The last part I found unreadable. Goodbye Descartes begins with a persuasive argument that intelligence is not computation and ends up speculating on what intelligence DOES involve. The latter is admittedly a next to impossible task, but the author's attempt to combine logic and sociology to form "soft mathematics" left me unimpressed. Overall, a disappointment.
