Having its seeds in the 2nd International Lauener Symposium held in
honour of Dagfinn Follesdal, the present collection contains a
rich, kaleidoscopic ensemble of previously unpublished
contributions by leading authors, representing diverse approaches
to a variety of philosophical themes on which Follesdal has had a
longstanding, formative impact. Follesdal himself contributes an
orientating essay continuing to develop his pioneering theory of
reference as well as in-depth commentaries on each of the other
authors elaborated papers plus candid answers in the added
interview. The volume assembles a wealth of original articles
containing in part direct discussions of Follesdal s work and
covering a broad range of topics like subjectivity,
intersubjectivity, objectivity, rationality, logics and
mathematics, choice theory, values, modalities, intentionality,
individuation, perception, communication, meaning, reference, the
slingshot, one- and two-sorted semantics, evidence,
neuropsychology, space and time, science and society, methodology,
fallibilism, the relative a priori, justification, holism, the
life-world, reflective equilibrium, empathy, and ethics. Moreover
the book includes an incisive memoir of Follesdal the philosopher
as well as a spanning interview with him, which are both critically
directing toward Follesdal s subtly differentiated understanding of
the dynamic philosophical horizon he shares in. With contributions
from Dagfinn Follesdal, Charles Parsons, Patrick Suppes, Jon
Elster, John Perry, Michael Friedman, Dag Prawitz, Wilhelm K.
