PhD Thesis

Is a subpersonal epistemology possible? Re-evaluating cognitive integration for extended cognition

I have a PhD in philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. My thesis expands on the extended cognition and extended epistemology debate. I argue against subpersonal virtue epistemology and instead motivate ‘cognitive integration’ to make sense of the epistemology of extended cognition. Specifically, I demonstrate how Andy Clark’s subpersonal virtue epistemology falls short in explaining extended knowledge. My research also provides general reasons to steer away from subpersonal epistemologies. You may download my PhD thesis here.

My PhD was supervised by Duncan Pritchard, Mog Stapleton, and Orestis Palermos. Richard Menary and Dave Ward examined the thesis.
