AB - The purpose of this paper is to explore how cognition extends to the web. Initially, Clark, a co-creator of extended cognition theory, argued against the possibility of cognition extending to the web. However, he has since revised his viewpoint. This paper delves into the consequences of Clark’s shift towards advocating for extended cognition and proposes avenues for further extension. The paper proceeds as follows. Section 2 examines an example of extended cognition made by Clark and Chalmers (1998) for the precise meaning of extended cognition and examines the parity principle that regulates extended cognition in relation to functionalism and externalism. Section 3 analyses the nature of coupling as a prerequisite for equivalence to hold and illustrates the four conditions of extended cognition with concrete examples. Section 4 examines Clark’s current position on extended cognition to the web, focusing on the web version of the parity principle, and analyzes the implications of his shift from individual to social cognition, and from the metaphysical to the methodological. The discussion reveals that Clark’s position is a progress of his earlier position and an expansion of the scope of application, and points out the need for a quantitative and methodological approach as a deficiency in current theory of extended cognition
