Markov blankets do not demarcate the boundaries of the mind
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 45:e201 (2022)
Abstract
We agree with Bruineberg and colleagues' main claims. However, we urge for a more forceful critique by focusing on the extended mind debate. We argue that even once the Pearl and Friston versions of the Markov blanket have been untangled, that neither is sufficient for tackling and resolving the question of demarcating the boundaries of the mind.Author Profiles
