延展认知论证进路的探析与建构

An Analysis and Construction of the Argument Approaches to Extended Cognition

延展认知自提出至今近20年来,延展认知主义与颅内主义围绕延展认知理论是否成立的争论就未曾间断过。通过对延展认知的论证进路进行探析,可以发现这些论证进路本质上都是一种耦合论证,区别仅在于其究竟是功能上的耦合,还是大脑内外过程的耦合,亦或是大脑内外系统的耦合。因此,延展认知理论在论证进路上的不足之处亟待进一步修缮,首先是重构完善的延展认知论证逻辑,其次还应当诉诸于神经科学的支持。

There has been the debate between extended cognition and intracranial idea about the validity of the theory of extended cognition since the theory was put forward two decades ago.The analysis of the argument approaches to extended cognition reveals that all the approaches are in essence the coupling argument,the difference lying in whether it is the functional coupling or the coupling of the internal and external processes of the brain or the coupling of the internal and external systems of the brain.The argument approaches to extended cognition are expected to be improved through reconstructing perfect argument logic of extended cognition and resorting to the support of neuroscience.
