The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually. From the preface: The papers included in this volume have been written in honor of Tyler Burge. Most of them were presented at the VIII Seminario Interuniversitario de Filosofía y Ciencia Cognitiva: Primera Persona, Otras Mentes e Interlocución which took place at the Department of Philosophy in the University of Granada (Spain), during 23--25 May 1996. There are also three papers, those written by Gauker, Davies, and Davis, which have been requested as an invitation to participate in this project. According to the title of the Seminar, the papers deal with Burge's externalism and its implications to the philosophy of language and of mind, and with epistemological problems derived from anti-individualism and the first person. We have organized the papers into three sections. Section I, ``Meaning, includes the contributions whose main topics deal with questions related to meanings, terms and linguistic communication. Section II, ``Basic self-knowledge, includes the works dealing with the epistemological difficulties raised by anti-individualism, together with our intuitions about the privileged access that everybody has to the content of some of his/her mental states. Section III, ``Mind, gathers together the contributions on the status of concepts, the nature of the mental, and the implications of Burge's positions to the central questions in the philosophy of mind. Finally, we conclude with replies that Tyler Burge has elaborated for each paper.
