description Information and Mind explores a range of topics that Fred Dretske addressed in his philosophical career. These span from the earliest problems Dretske analyzed—the nature of seeing an object—to epistemological issues that he began working on in mid-career, to issues he focused on in later years, including information, mental representation, and conscious experience. The papers in the volume, written by former colleagues and students from the university of Wisconsin and Stanford University, were inspired by talks given at the Center for the Explanation of Consciousness at Stanford in 2015 to celebrate Dretske's life and work. In addition to scholarly essays, the authors also recount stories from personal interactions with Dretske that transformed their philosophical views or changed their professional trajectory. A bibliography of Dretske's publications is also provided. This volume includes contributions by Fred Adams, John A. Barker, John Perry, Paul Skokowski, and Dennis Stampe.
