Check out this new book I’ve just come across – Wiley’s lists, across disciplines, is certainly looking very strong these days. Also check out two colleagues’ excellent Wiley offerings – Ted Lewis’ Network Science and of course Ken Aizawa’s and Fred Adams’ The Bounds of Cognition.

Ken Aizawa’s contribution to the Extended Mind special issue of CSR: The hypothesis of extended cognition maintains that cognitive processes sometimes span the brain, body, and world. One of the most prominent types of arguments for this hypothesis begins with observations of the role of certain sorts of bodily and environmental influences on cognitive processes,…
H/T to Ken Aizawa for bringing this bumper EM issue to my attention. For a while now I’ve been banging on about the idea that these two literatures, EM and epistemology, have much to say to each other. In this regard I have mentioned in my writings two of the contributors to this issue, Sandy…
Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences has published a bumper themed issue devoted to EM as well as other related theses, now collectively known as 4E. There is a “whose who” of contributors including the old firm Adams and Aizawa, Barnier, Sutton, Menary, Sterelny, Harris and others. This promises to be a super “must read” collection. Congrats…
Check out the ms of Colin Klein’s critical notice (forthcoming in Journal of Mind and Behavior) of Rob Rupert, something I’ve been trailing for some time.
Two of the leading players from each side of the extended mind divide (Ken Aizawa of course a pre-eminent critic; Mark Rowlands a long-time proponent) discuss EM. There is much besides on the Philosophy TV website.
The full and sequential lineup of this special issue of CSR is now available as Volume 11, Issue 4, Pages 311-408 (December 2010). Thanks to all – the contributors and the Elsevier type-setting team for making this such a smooth experience.
The latest issue of JMB is now available. The pieces that will particularly interest my constituency are: (1) The Boundaries Still Stand: A Reply to Fisher by Kenneth Aizawa, and (2) A Critical Notice of Radical Embodied Cognitive Science by Anthony Chemero, reviewed by Rick Dale.
Tony Chemero has kindly sent me these links to a paper he, Dobromir Dotov and Lin Nie have just had published. The first link is to the full paper entitled “A Demonstration of the Transition from Ready-to-Hand to Unready-to-Hand.” The second link is to a popularized version of the aforementioned paper entitled “Your Computer Really Is…
I’ve just come across a blog dedicated to discussion of the Hypothesis of Extended Cognition. With contributors (for and against) of the order of Anthony Morse, Richard Menary, Andy Clark, Ken Aizawa and Fred Adams, this will hopefully develop into a lively forum and yet another way for theorists in this fertile and exciting niche to network.
