- Title
We are the World: Environmental Rights and the Extended Self.
- Authors
McKinnell, Liz
- Abstract
Clark and Chalmers suggest that their extended mind hypothesis may be one with "effects in the moral and social domains". I explore what some of these effects might be, arguing that it is appropriate to view this issue in rights terms, since this language is appropriate to describe wrongdoing which consists in fragmentation or violation of personal identity. I support this by drawing parallels between the value of liberty and the value that environment is lent by the extended mind hypothesis. I also posit that this view is potentially strengthened by biological theories which propose an extended self.
