When I entered the graduate program in philosophy at the University
of Pittsburgh in 1961, Nicholas Rescher had just joined the
department of philosophy' to begin, with Adolf Grunbaum, the
building of what is now a philosophy center of worldwide renown.
Very soon his exceptional energy and versatility were in evidence,
as he founded the American Philosophical Quarterly, generated a
constantly rising stack of preprints, pursued impor tant scholarly
research in Arabic logic, taught a staggering diversity of histori
cal and thematic courses, and obtained, in cooperation with Kurt
Baier, a major grant for work in value theory. That is all part of
the record. What may come as a surprise is that none of it was
accomplished at the expense of his students. Papers were returned
in a matter of days, often the next class meet ing. And so easily
accessible was he for philosophical discussion that, since
(inevitably) we shared many philosophical interests, I asked him to
serve as my dissertation advisor. My work in connection with this
project led to a couple of journal articles while his,
characteristically, led to a book. Our dis cussions certainly
helped me, and while they may also have had some small influence on
him, in the end our views were quite distinct. I was not only
allowed complete independence, but was positively encouraged to
think of my own ideas and to develop them independently. The length
and breadth of Rescher's bibliography defy belief."
