Andy Clark

Andy Clark is a philosopher and cognitive scientist known for his work on the "Extended Mind" theory, which suggests that our minds are not confined to our brains but instead extend into the environment through tools and technology. He argues that everyday objects, like notebooks or smartphones, can become integral parts of our cognitive processes. This idea connects with "embodied cognition," which posits that our thinking is shaped by our body's interactions with the world. Clark's work challenges traditional views of the mind, suggesting a more interconnected relationship between mind, body, and environment.
