In our everyday life we use all sorts of external tools and devices to help us in our thinking: lists, diagrams, diaries, fingers, computers, iPhones. Sometimes these objects seem to play a similar role to internal mental activities, such as memory or imagination. The ‘extended mind thesis’ claims that external objects can, in fact, be part of our cognitive processes. As the original proponents of the thesis, Andy Clark and David Chalmers, put it, ‘cognitive processes ain't (all) in the head!’ The extended mind thesis thus proposes a radical change in our conception of the mind and its relationship to the world. In this course we will examine the thesis and its implications, as well as broader work on the role of external tools in our thinking.
