"The Extended Mind": Drafts

"The Extended Mind": Early Drafts

In my files I recently came across these two early drafts of the article "The Extended Mind", dating from March 1995 when Andy Clark and I were colleagues at Washington University.

First draft: "Mind and World: Breaching the Plastic Frontier", written by Andy, covered with my handwritten comments.

Second draft: "The Extended Mind", coauthored (I came on board and produced a revised draft), covered with Andy's handwritten comments.
