Abstract
This chapter is an interview the editors conducted with Teddy Seidenfeld about his life and career and his thoughts on a variety of topics. Teddy speaks about what Henry Kyburg and Isaac Levi mean to him, the extensive collaboration with Jay Kadane and Mark Schervish, the foundation of statistics and decision making, indeterminate and imprecise probabilities and the SIPTA society
