An investigation into the conceptual foundations of a new way of thinking about the mind that does not locate all cognition in the head.

There is a new way of thinking about the mind that does not locate mental processes exclusively in the head. Some think that this expanded conception of the mind will be the basis of a new science of the mind. In this book, leading philosopher Mark Rowlands investigates the conceptual foundations of this new science of the mind. The new way of thinking about the mind emphasizes the ways in which mental processes are embodied (made up partly of extraneural bodily structures and processes), embedded (designed to function in tandem with the environment), enacted (constituted in part by action), and extended (located in the environment).
