Defending HOT Theory and the Wide Intrinsicality View: A Reply to Weisberg, Van Gulick, and Seager

I first want to thank all three commentators: Josh Weisberg, Robert Van Gulick, and William Seager. I appreciate the time they put into readingmy book and working on their thought provoking commentaries. This symposiumgrew out of an author-meets-critics session at the Central APAconference in 2013. I also wish to thank the session chair (William Robinson) and the Central APA committee chair (Anne Jacobson) for arranging the session in the first place. I cannot of course respond to every single point made by my commentators, but I'll focus here on what I take to be the most important and interesting criticisms.
