Ladislav Tondl's insightful investigations into the language of the
sciences bear directly upon some decisive points of confrontation
in modern philos ophy of science and of language itself. In the
decade since his Scientific Procedures was published in English
(Boston Studies 11), Dr Tondl has enlarged his original monograph
of 1966 on the promise, problems and achievements of modern
semantics: the main topic of his later work has been semantic
information theory. A Russian translation, considerably expanded as
a second edition, was published in 1975 (Moscow, Progress
Publishers) with an appreciative critical commentary, in the form
of a conclusion, by Professor Avenir I. Uemov of Odessa. Indeed
many Soviet studies in the problems of the semantics of science
show the same sort of philosophical curiosity about the
relationship of meanings in scientific language to pro cedures in
scientific epistemology that characterizes Tondl's work, as in the
work of Mirislav Popovich (Kiev) and Vadirn Sadovsky (Moscow) and
their colleagues. But we know that interest in these matters is
world-wide, ranging from such classical topics as sense and
denotation, empiricist reduction, vagueness and denotational
opacity, to the new and equally exciting topics of the semantics of
non-unique preference choices, the nuances of informational
synonymity, and the semantics of a picture shape (so briefly but
beautifully sketched in Tondl's dense and promising last chapter).
We are pleased to have had Tondl's kind cooperation in producing
this English edition, actually a third edition, of his research
about semantics."
