The mind is an elusive thing that philosophers and scientists have tried for so long to describe. But what if it's actually the ways we talk about the brain and mind that prevent us from fully understanding consciousness? Annie Murphy Paul, an acclaimed science writer whose work has appeared in Scientific American and The New York Times, as well as the author of books such as The Cult of Personality and Origins, argues that a lot of studies have been conducted on how thinking happens ‘only inside the brain’, and very little attention has been paid to the way people use the world to think. The Extended Mind is the term used by the author to describe how we interact with the things beyond our brain in order to aid its thinking and growth. Examples include how physical places can have an effect on how we feel or think, in addition to gestures and movements, working in groups, and imitating others.
In this book, Paul argues that our failure to understand the mind lies in the failed metaphors that were conceived by the notion that the brain is a computer or a muscle separate from the rest of the body. The Extended Mind argues for a holistic theory of mental existence that integrates our bodies and the world beyond it.
