Becoming Human: A Contingent Transcranialist Perspective
Extended Mind theorists (Contingent Transcranialists) claim that the
physical mechanisms of mind are not exclusively intracranial and that
genuine cognitive systems can extend into the cogniser's physical,
sociocultural and technological environments. They further claim that
extended cognitive systems must include the deep functional integration of
external environmental resources and internal neural resources. Contingent
intracranialists, in contrast, accept the role of multiple environmental
resources in the scaffolding or support of cognition but reject the
metaphysical thesis of contingent transcranialism (CT). In this paper, I
provide evidence to support the metaphysical thesis of CT; it relates to
the concurrent development of human emotionality, language and, by
implication, symbolic thought. Drawing on insights primarily from
developmental psychology, I show how a limited range of shared
developmental mechanisms results in the concurrent development of at least
some aspects of human emotionality and language. In light of this analysis,
I argue that the development of human emotionality, language (and, by
implication) symbolic thought is a world-to-brain transcranialist
achievement.
