review: Editorial Reviews Review "brilliant...[providing] the best argument I've seen for the idea that minds are smeared over more space than neuroscience might have us believe" ―New Scientist "Supersizing the Mind is an important book for cognitive-science theorists of all stripes.... Although traditional and radical theorists are likely to remain unconvinced, there can be no doubt that Supersizing the Mind will set the terms for many of the coming debates." ―Times Literary Supplement "...it offers original thinking in the philosophy of mind, and it is highly recommended for academic collections in that subject." ―Library Journal "In Supersizing the Mind, philosopher Andy Clark makes the compelling argument that the mind extends beyond the body to include the tools, symbols and other artefacts we deploy to engage the world.... Supersizing the Mind is a treat to read. It is brimming with remarkable ideas, novel insights and amusing language." ―Nature About the Author Andy Clark is Professor of Philosophy, Edinburgh University.
