 That leaves the third option: denying that modularity requires encapsulation. This is, in effect, the strategy pursued by Carruthers (2006). More specifically, Carruthers draws a distinction between two kinds of encapsulation: ‘narrow-scope’ and ‘wide-scope’. A system is narrow-scope encapsulated if it cannot draw on any information held outside of it in the course of its processing. This corresponds to encapsulation as Fodor uses the term. By contrast, a system that is wide-scope encapsulated can draw on exogenous information during the course of its operations—it just cannot draw on all of that information. (Compare: “No exogenous information is accessible” vs. “Some exogenous information is not accessible.”) This is encapsulation in a weaker sense of the term than Fodor’s. Indeed, Carruthers’s use of the term ‘encapsulation’ in this context is a bit misleading, insofar as wide-scope encapsulated systems count as unencapsulated in Fodor’s sense (Prinz, 2006).
