This book honours the philosophical career of Manuel Liz, an important and prominent Spanish philosopher. Manuel Liz has written and published extensively mostly on topics related to epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of mind, although he also has relevant publications in the areas of philosophy of language and systems dynamic theory. This work includes contributions from an impressive list of philosophers in different stages of their career and from different continents (Europe, North America and South America) and universities, working in closely related but diverse areas such as epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of mind and language. This book is of great interest to philosophers and graduate students working in said areas.
