This calls for the papers written for it connecting somehow with the honoree's work. My paper connects only indirectly, by a sort of exclusion: it deals with topics outside the range of those that Peter has written about. Still, I hope it will inter

1 Coherentist Contraction Sven Ove Hansson 1. Introduction Coherence is one of the epistemic ideals most often referred to in the belief revision literature, not least since the treatment of coherence in Peter Gärdenfors’s seminal book Knowledge in Flux. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate what can be meant by performing a contraction coherently. A minimal requirement is that contra

1 CONCEPTUAL SPACE AND PROJECTIBILITY By Inge-Bert Täljedal Department of Integrative Medical Biology, Section for Histology and Cell Biology, Umeå University, SE-901 87 Umeå, Sweden Summary. According to Gärdenfors, the formal property of convexity in a conceptual space can serve as a criterion of projectibility. This theory is here criticized on two grounds: 1) Gärdenfors is inconsistent when ap
