Summary:

Within the Extended Mind Thesis (EMT) debate Robinson explores the world of affect and conation as intermediate realms of human being between the physical movements of 'body' and the qualitative movements of 'mind', and shows that affect is not only always in the process of becoming conation, but that affect is transcranial, and tends to become interpersonal conation. Affective-becoming-conative sociality, he argues, is in fact the primary area in which body-becoming-mind extends.
