Defending extension theory

a response to Kiran and Verbeek

Richard Heersmink

pp. 121-128

Abstract

In a recent publication in this journal, Asle Kiran and Peter-Paul Verbeek (hereafter K&V) argue that extension theory and the notion of trust it implies are flawed. In this commentary, I defend extension theory against their critique. I first briefly introduce extension theory, then reconstruct K&V's five arguments against extension theory and demonstrate that four of their five arguments are misplaced.
