Summary: Having its seeds in the 2nd International Lauener Symposium held in honour of Dagfinn F llesdal, the present collection contains a rich, kaleidoscopic ensemble of previously unpublished contributions by leading authors, representing diverse approaches to a variety of philosophical themes on which F llesdal has had a longstanding, formative impact. F llesdal 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 F llesdal 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 F llesdal the philosopher as well as a spanning interview with him, which are both critically directing toward F llesdal s subtly differentiated understanding of the dynamic philosophical horizon he shares in. With contributions from Dagfinn F llesdal, Charles Parsons, Patrick Suppes, Jon Elster, John Perry, Michael Friedman, Dag Prawitz, Wilhelm K. Essler, David Woodruff Smith, Olav Gjelsvik, Graciela De Pierris, Nils Roll-Hansen, Christian Beyer, ystein Linnebo, Michael Frauchiger. Excerpt Open publication.
