Abstract

In this commentary, we argue that Phillips et al.'s findings can be used to provide new important insights in the debate between externalists’ theories of cognition. In particular, we claim that the results presented in this target article may offer us the conceptual palette needed for a sustained defence of an extended account of cognition over an enactive one.
