Characterizing reality through resistance rather than substance (the ways the world refuses a subject’s mastery), I distinguish three modalities correlative to epistemic, judgmental, and practical mastery: Substrate (matter’s resistance to representation),...

The Internet is an important focus of attention for those concerned with issues of extended cognition. In particular, the application of active externalist theorizing to the Internet gives rise to the notion of Internet-extended cognition: the idea that the Internet can (on occasion) form part of an integrated nexus of material elements that serves as the realization base for human mental...
