Piccola ricerca sulla teoria della mente estesa

Tutti coloro che accettano o rifiutano il modello della mente estesa partono dal saggio:

• Andy Clark & David J. Chalmers, The Extended Mind, ANALYSIS 58: 1: 1998 p.7-19

I seguenti articoli prendono posizione contro alcuni aspetti della concezione esposta da Clark e Chalmers:

• Paul Loader, Extending the Mind da http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/users/pl27/Notes.pdf
• Diego Marconi, Contro la mente estesa, in Sistemi intelligenti, n.: 3, dicembre 2005
• Alberto Oliverio, La mente estesa e le neuroscienze, in Sistemi intelligenti, n.: 3, dicembre 2005
• Adams, F. & Aizawa, K. The Bounds of Cognition. Philosophical Psychology, Vol 14, 1. (2001).

Molti saggi sulla mente estesa si troveranno in Richard Menary (ed.) The Extended Mind. Forthcoming, Ashgate (fine 2006 oppure inizio 2007). Per esempio:

• John Preston, The Extended Mind, the Concept of Belief, and Epistemic Credit
• Andy Clark, Memento's Revenge: Objections and Replies to the Extended Mind
• Adams, F. & K. Aizawa, Defending the Bounds of Cognition
• Clark, A., Coupling, Constitution and the Cognitive Kind: A Reply to Adams and Aizawa
• Rupert, R., Representation in Extended Cognitive Systems: Does the Scaffolding of Language Extend the Mind?
• Wilson, R.A., Meaning Making and the Mind of the Externalist

Ci sono state due conferenze sulla Mente Estesa all’University of Hertfordshire, organizzate da Menary:

• The Extended Mind: The Very Idea (June 2001)
• The Extended Mind 2: Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back in The Head. (June/July 2006)

Altri scritti che dovrebbero aver a che fare con il tema della mente estesa, ma non so quanto valgono né che posizione prendono (alcuni con dati bibliografici incerti):
