Alongside existing research into the social, political and economic
impacts of the Web, there is a need to study the Web from a
cognitive and epistemic perspective. This is particularly so as new
and emerging technologies alter the nature of our interactive
engagements with the Web, transforming the extent to which our
thoughts and actions are shaped by the online environment. Situated
and ecological approaches to cognition are relevant to
understanding the cognitive significance of the Web because of the
emphasis they place on forces and factors that reside at the level
of agent-world interactions. In particular, by adopting a situated
or ecological approach to cognition, we are able to assess the
significance of the Web from the perspective of research into
embodied, extended, embedded, social and collective cognition. The
results of this analysis help to reshape the interdisciplinary
configuration of Web Science, expanding its theoretical and
empirical remit to include the disciplines of both cognitive
science and the philosophy of mind. Minds Online: The Interface
between Web Science, Cognitive Science and the Philosophy of Mind
heeds the call of the early Web Science pioneers by expanding the
interdisciplinary scope of Web Science, specifically, to
accommodate the disciplines of cognitive science and the philosophy
of mind. There is a substantial literature to support this
expansionist agenda. Given the centrality of cognition to our
species-specific capabilities, as well as the level of public and
scientific interest in the Web, now is arguably an appropriate time
to review this literature and explicate the nature of the linkages
that connect the science of the Web with the sciences of the mind.
