The Goldilocks problem and extended cognition
Since I’m about to submit another themed issue of Cognitive Systems Research I thought I’d give a plug to the papers from the last CSR “Extended Mind” issue I edited some two months ago. First up is Dan Weiskopf’s paper: According to the hypothesis of extended cognition (HEC), parts of the extrabodily world can constitute cognitive…

Shaun Gallagher: Enactively extended intentionality
Shaun Gallagher talk: I argue that the extended mind hypothesis requires an enactive, neo-pragmatic concept of intentionality if it is to develop proper responses to a variety of objections.

This unusual combination of theories raises the question of how…
