Where does the mind stop and the rest of the world begin? In their famous 1998 paper "The Extended Mind," philosophers Andy Clark and David J. Chalmers posed this question and answered it provocatively: cognitive processes "ain't all in the head." The environment has an active role in driving cognition; cognition is sometimes made up of neural, bodily, and environmental processes. Their argument excited a vigorous debate among philosophers, both supporters and detractors. This volume brings together for the first time the best responses to Clark and Chalmers's bold proposal. These responses, together with the original paper by Clark and Chalmers, offer a valuable overview of the latest research on the extended mind thesis. The contributors first discuss (and answer) objections raised to Clark and Chalmers's thesis. Clark himself responds to critics in an essay that uses the movie "Memento"'s amnesia-aiding notes and tattoos to illustrate the workings of the extended mind. Contributors then consider the different directions in which the extended mind project might be taken, including the need for an approach that focuses on cognitive activity and practice.

This book argues that conscious experience is sometimes extended outside the brain and body into certain kinds of environmental interaction and tool use. It shows that if one accepts that cognitive states can extend, one must also accept that consciousness can extend. The proponents of Extended Mind defend the former claim, but usually oppose the latter claim. The most important undertaking of this book is to show that this partition is not possible on pain of inconsistency. Pii Telakivi presents three arguments for the hypothesis of Extended Conscious Mind, examines and answers the most common counterarguments, and introduces a novel means to interpret and apply the concept of constitution. She also addresses the tensions between analytic philosophy of mind and enactivism, and builds a bridge between two different traditions: on the one hand, extended mind, and on the other, enactivism and embodied mind—and maintains that a unifying approach is necessary for a theory about extended consciousness.

The Extended Mind by award-winning science writer, Annie Murphy Paul, is not an out-and-out education book. But it is entirely focused on how learning and thinking happen, illustrating how a multi-modal approach to cognition can widen points of access to intellectual activity. Using evidence from cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology, The Extended Mind might broaden your understanding of human cognition. The findings of Annie Murphy Paul parallel those of cognitive load theorists: memory is at the core of cognition, and the body, the environment and other people enrich learning. In this book, Emma Turner, David Goodwin, and Oliver Caviglioli demonstrate how teachers can help their students augment their thinking with their bodies (embodied cognition), external tools (situated cognition) and the people around them (distributed cognition). To ease your concerns, you will read how the works of several eminent researchers validate claims put forward. Teachers and leaders of all education phases will find this book enlightening; using practical strategies and cases studies, the authors highlight opportunities to enrich students’ learning by widening points of access to intellectual activity.

"While the standard view in the brain sciences is that the human mind is (in some sense) a product of operations in the brain, the extended mind thesis, a popular emerging view in the philosophy of cognitive science, challenges this, instead claiming that objects located in an agent's environment, beyond the brain and body, can serve as partially constitutive of the agent's mental states. Thus, the extended mind thesis advocates a non-traditional understanding of the human mind and cognition. There is a common presumption that the extended mind thesis relies on certain metaphysical commitments, including a functionalist view about the nature of the mind. This is unsurprising given that the most influential argument for the view, due to Andy Clark and David Chalmers, does appeal to functionalism along with the claim that there can be 'functional parity' between internal and external resources. The main purpose of this thesis is to explore how Clark and Chalmers's extended mind thesis interacts with functionalism, a pillar of 20th century metaphysics of mind. Functionalist-related debates, including objections to both Clark and Chalmers's appeal to functionalism and their claim that there can be functional parity between internal and external objects, have dominated the discussion of the merits of the extended mind thesis. My goal is to show that the core principle of their argument for the thesis does not depend on the metaphysical commitments that it is widely thought to do.The central argument I develop in this thesis severs the allegedly tight connection between the thesis and functionalism, thereby insulating it from nearly all the standard objections. The crux of the argument I make turns on the distinction between the multiple realizability thesis, another pillar of 20th century philosophy of mind, and a thesis I refer to as multiple localizability. I argue that the extended mind thesis is about the location of mental states rather than their composition - and thus depends only on a commitment to multiple localizability rather than multiple realizability or functionalism. Once it is stripped of its relationship to functionalism, the extended mind thesis can be evaluated on its own merits. I conclude that the seemingly radical extended mind thesis is fact quite conservative and thus very plausible. " --

The ability to communicate through language is such a fundamental part of human existence that we often take it for granted, rarely considering how sophisticated the process is by which we understand and make ourselves understood. In The Extended Mind, acclaimed author Robert K. Logan examines the origin, emergence, and co-evolution of language, the human mind, and culture. Building on his previous study, The Sixth Language (2000) and making use of emergence theory, Logan seeks to explain how language emerged to deal with the complexity of hominid existence brought about by tool-making, control of fire, social intelligence, coordinated hunting and gathering, and mimetic communication. The resulting emergence of language, he argues, signifies a fundemental change in the functioning of the human mind a shift from percept-based thought to concept-based thought. From the perspective of the Extended Mind model, Logan provides an alternative to and critique of Noam Chomskys approach to the origin of language. He argues that language can be treated as an organism that evolved to be easily acquired, obviating the need for the hard-wiring of Chomskys Language Acquisition Device. In addition Logan shows how, according to this model, culture itself can be treated as an organism that has evolved to be easily attained, revealing the universality of human culture as well as providing an insight as to how altruism might have originated. Bringing timely insights to a fascinating field of inquiry, The Extended Mind will be sure to find a wide readership.
