Yehoshua Bar-Hillel (1915-1975) was one of the leading
intellectuals of Israel and of the world. His work ranged over
mathematics, applied logic, communication theory, analytic
philosophy, philosophy of science, and linguistics. Creative,
patient, attentive, and critical, Bar-Hillel was a superb
philosopher. In addition, how humane he was may be learned from the
memorial tributes to him which initiate this volume. Bar-Hillel was
born in Vienna, and came to Israel, then Palestine, in 1933. He
took his M. A. (1938) and Ph. D. (1949) at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, where his subsequent career continued, as Research
Fellow (1949-53), Senior Lecturer in Philosophy (1953-58),
Associate Professor of Philosophy (1958-61), and Professor of Logic
and Philosophy of Sci ence (1961-75). He was often abroad as
visiting professor (Berkeley, 1960- 61; Michigan, 1965; La Jolla,
1966-67; Konstanz, 1971; Berlin, 1972), or as a research scholar,
notably at the M. lT. Research Laboratory for Elec tronics during
the early 1950's. Bar-Hillel was the Secretary and guiding spirit
of the Organizing Committee for the 3rd International Congress for
Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science, held in Jerusalem in
1964. During 1966-68, he was President of the Division of Logic,
Method ology and Philosophy of SCience of the International Union
of History and Philosophy of Science, and in 1967 President of the
International Union. From 1963 he was a Member of the Israel
Academy of Sciences and Humanities."
