The Spread Mind by Riccardo Manzotti
Why consciousness and the world are one
This book develops an externalist theory of consciousness arguing that conscious experience is not produced solely inside the skull but is constituted by the ongoing relations among brain, body, and external objects; perception is treated as a physical relation that “spreads” the mind into the world. It challenges internalist and representationalist assumptions, reinterprets neuroscientific data, and addresses puzzles about qualia, hallucination, and subjectivity by locating consciousness in the coupled system formed by organism and environment rather than in intracranial processes alone.
