Abstract According to the extended mind hypothesis, the mind can extend into the physical world via tools, devices and systems external to the brain. This article explains the hypothesis and explores its implications for knowledge, identity, education and digital ethics. It also highlights a deeper concern: if the mind is extended, then it is also fragile. This fragility stems from its...

Abstract Narrative practices appear to matter to psychological well-being, yet dominant frameworks generally sideline narrative practices in mental health contexts, treating them, at best, as marginal. We argue that if we are to give narrative practices their due in mental health contexts, we must set aside certain misleading imaginative frames that dominate our thinking in this domain. To...
