Citation: clark-chalmers-1998-extended-mind
Claim ID: active-externalism
Assertion: Clark and Chalmers propose 'active externalism', the view that the mind, or what realizes it, is not confined to the brain or skin but can include reliably coupled external resources in the cognitive system.
Quote: We advocate a very different sort of externalism: an active externalism, based on the active role of the environment in driving cognitive processes.
