Abstract
The extended mind thesis maintains that while minds may be centrally located in one’s brain-and-body, they are sometimes partly constituted by tools in our environment. Critics argue that we have no reason to move from the claim that cognition is embedded in the environment to the stronger claim that cognition can be constituted by the environment. I will argue that there are normative reasons, both scientific and ethical, for preferring the extended account of the mind to the rival embedded account.
Prema tezi o proširenom duhu iako se naši umovi prevashodno nalaze u našem mozgu i telu, njih ponekad delimično ustanovljuju delovi naše sredine. Kritičari tvrde da nemamo razloga da od teze da je naša kognicija uronjena u našu sredinu napravimo korak ka prihvatanju jače teze prema kojoj je naša kognicija konstituisana našom sredinom. U ovom radu, pokazujem da postoje normativni razlozi, naučni i etički, da prihvatimo tezu o proširenom duhu umesto suparničke, uronjene, teze.
