In this jointly authored book, Kirchhoff and Kiverstein defend the
controversial thesis that phenomenal consciousness is realised by
more than just the brain. They argue that the mechanisms and
processes that realise phenomenal consciousness can at times extend
across brain, body, and the social, material, and cultural world.
Kirchhoff and Kiverstein offer a state-of-the-art tour of current
arguments for and against extended consciousness. They aim to
persuade you that it is possible to develop and defend the thesis
of extended consciousness through the increasingly influential
predictive processing theory developed in cognitive neuroscience.
They show how predictive processing can be given a new reading as
part of a third-wave account of the extended mind. The third-wave
claims that the boundaries of mind are not fixed and stable but
fragile and hard-won, and always open to negotiation. It calls into
question any separation of the biological from the social and
cultural when thinking about the boundaries of the mind. Kirchhoff
and Kiverstein show how this account of the mind finds support in
predictive processing, leading them to a view of phenomenal
consciousness as partially realised by patterns of cultural
practice.
