从延展认知到延展体验:元宇宙与后人类主义生存

From extended cognition to extended feeling:Metaverse and post-humanist live

基于具身互联网技术的元宇宙不仅在技术上改变了我们的生活,也挑战了经典认知科学对认知与智能概念的定义。人的认知过程不再仅仅被理解为颅内的神经计算,而被理解为一个介于生命-机器广泛互动的信息交互过程中。文章试图重新讨论延展认知的定义与机制,并试图说明从延展认知到延展体验等认知科学假说对元宇宙框架下认知理论的贡献,并论证基于延展体验基础上的元宇宙(具身互联网)可以成为认知过程的一部分,影响并冲击经典认知科学与哲学领域对认知自身的理解。最终,文章将试图说明,延展体验与元宇宙可以帮助我们走进一个后人类的生存状态。

The metaverse based on embodied internet technology not only changes our lives technically,but also challenges the definitions of cognition and intelligence in classical cognitive science.The human cognitive process is no longer just understood as intracranial neural computation,but is understood as an information interactive process between human and machines.This article attempts to rediscuss the definition and mechanism of extended cognition,and attempts to explain the contribution of cognitive science hypotheses from extended cognition to extended feeling to the cognitive theory under the framework of metaverse,and demonstrates the metaverse based on extended feeling(specifically embodied Internet)can become part of the cognitive process,influencing and impacting the understanding of cognition itself in classical cognitive science and philosophy.Ultimately,we will show that extended experience and the metaverse will help us move into a post-humanist state of existence.
