----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------
A good question - is there an ideological dimension to the concept of extended
mind (I prefer the term extended self)? Historically the extended self idea has
developed, in part, out of the work of Heidegger - who we are aware is an
ideologically complex and contentious thinker. So, it could be argued there are
clear ideological roots to the concept.
However, I think this is a major issue in its own right and distinct from this
month's discussion on virtual embodiment. Perhaps we (somebody) could develop
this as a theme for a later empyre discussion?
