The work of Charles Travis is fundamentally situated in the analytical tradition, yet is also radically at odds with many assumptions characteristic of the tradition, especially as regards the nature of language and perception as representational capacities. Twelve philosophers explore themes in his work, and Travis gives extended responses. The editors provide an introductory chapter which situates Travis's ideas in the context of contemporary philosophy of language and mind. The volume divides into three sections, relating to language, thought, and perception. Topics covered in detail include: the nature of linguistic and perceptual representation; Frege; Wittgenstein; the role of context in fixing speech content; and the structure of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Collins, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, University of East Anglia\u003c\/em\u003e, Tamara Dobler, \u003cem\u003ePostdoctoral fellow, University of Amsterdam\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Collins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia.
