RE ANDY CLARK OPINIONATOR MIND BRAIN THE ULTIMATE PROSTHETIC

'Really understanding the mind, if the theorists of embodied and extended cognition are right, will require a lot more than just understanding the brain.'

Right. Of course, really; but compartmentalization has tended to prevent broader understandings, like this. He even qualifies, if so and so are right.....

Question:

Why, really, should understanding the mind be conditioned on whether certain cognition theorists he mentions are right?


Following Hegel, re internet (the ultimate 'prosthetic'):
The Mind and The World are one.
