The nonmetaphysical interpretation of H egel's philosophy asserts that the metaphysical reading is not credible and so his philosophy must be rationally reconstructed so as to elide its metaphysical aspects. This article shows that the thesis of the extended mind approaches the metaphysical reading, thereby undermining denials of its credibility and providing the resources to articulate and defend the metaphysical reading of H egel's philosophy. This fully rehabilitates the metaphysical H egel. The article does not argue for the truth of the metaphysical H egel's claims. Rather, it defends the correctness of reading his philosophy as metaphysical.
