[-empyre-] collective capture, distributed identity - extension

[Simon Biggs]

A good question - is there an ideological dimension to the concept of extended mind (I prefer the term extended self)? Historically the extended self idea has developed, in part, out of the work of Heidegger - who we are aware is an ideologically complex and contentious thinker. So, it could be argued there are clear ideological roots to the concept.

However, I think this is a major issue in its own right and distinct from this month's discussion on virtual embodiment. Perhaps we (somebody) could develop this as a theme for a later empyre discussion?
