This is the second volume of Proceedings of the Israel Colloquium
for the History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science. At the time
that this preface is being written, the fourth annual series of
lectures within the framework of the Israel Colloquium is already
behind us and the fifth is underway. The Israel Colloquium thus has
now not only a future to look forward to but also a past which is a
source, of pride and pleasure for those who take part in this
venture. The Israel Colloquium has, I believe, struck roots in the
Israeli scientific and intellectual life, while drawing on the
ever-increasing readiness of the international scientific and
intellectual community for continuous support. As in the first
volume, here too the papers presented, taken together, attempt a
threefold representation of science and of the scientific activity:
the historical, the social, and the systematic. A novel focal point
in this volume is the treatment of some case studies illuminating
historical, social, and philosophical aspects of medicine. Another
center of gravity here is the Eddington Centennial Symposium which
was a main event in the Collo quium activity of the 1982-83 series.
This is a fitting place for me to report with sorrow the untimely
death in the summer of 1984 of Solly G. Cohen, one of Israel's
leading scientists, who is among the contributors to this volume."
