I was shocked to learn of Peter Lipton’s death. Just this past June, Peter delivered a bravura performance at the EPISTEME Rutgers conference – inference to the best explanation – was unsurprisingly central to his talk. We were thrilled that Peter also agreed to join EPISTEME as an Associate Editor. Peter and I had a correspondence early on in the life of EPISTEME – I never knew that he was an American until we met in person. In person, he turned out to be a most charming man. A obituary can be found on the Cambridge website.
