Le menti non sono documenti (e viceversa)

Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia December 31, 2021 Giovanni Tuzet, Andrea Lavazza

The theory of documentality treats social objects as inscribed acts, while extended mind theory holds that minds extend beyond the body into external processes and devices. Both theories rely on semiotics to reduce differences between minds and documents, but this becomes implausible because minds and documents have different properties, just as social objects differ from the acts that constitute them. This raises a problem for a shared thesis: that moderate or interactionist externalism can challenge strong externalism.
