Acknowledgements
This collection of essays partly grew out of a series of workshops and conferences
that were organized as part of the project ‘Representationalism or Anti-
Representationalism?PerspectivesonIntentionalityfromPhilosophyandCognitive
Science’, and the editors would like to gratefully acknowledge the Norwegian
Research Council’s funding. We are also very grateful to the ‘New Directions in
Philosophy of Mind’ initiative from Cambridge University and the Templeton
Foundation, which also contributed funding for a conference on Acquaintance.
Many of the contributors to this volume took part in these events in Trondheim
andFeforinNorwayandatSenateHouseinLondon,andwehopethatsomesenseof
theinteractionsandexcitementofthoseoccasions—aswellastheprogressthatwas

The editors would like to thank the production team and editors at Oxford
University Press for all their excellent work. In particular we would like to thank
Peter Momtchiloff for all his help and patience throughout the long gestation of
this project.
