Erratic Thinking was a radio show and podcast that each week discussed contemporary philosophical issues with prominent philosophers. It was broadcast in 2010, but there are plans to update the website and do a new series of the show in the future.

Extended Mind

Can the mind extend beyond the brain? Can our minds extend into some of the tools we use? The Extended Mind thesis thinks that in some cases it can.

With me to discuss the Extended Mind thesis this week was Prof Mike Wheeler (Stirling) and Dr Tom Roberts (Edinburgh). The show can be downloaded here:
