Extended mind and business
EM finds some currency in the business world. In the work entitled the “Extended Mind” Andy Clark and David Chalmers asked where does the mind stop and the world end?

Thomism and the extended mind
This from the Catholic journal New Blackfriars: Of course there are other ways of doing away with the epistemological gap between mind and world.

“MARGINAL MEN”: WEIMER ON HAYEK
