Jaakko Hintikka was born on January 12th, 1929. He received his
doctorate from the University of Helsinki under the supervision of
Professor G. H. von Wright at the age of 24 in 1953. Hintikka was
appointed Professor of philosophy at the University of Helsinki in
1959. Since the late 50s, he has shared his time between Finland
and the U.S.A. He was appointed Professor of philosophy at Stanford
University in 1964. As from 1970 Hintikka has been permanent
research professor of the Academy of Finland. He has published 13
books and about 200 articles, not to mention the various editorial
and organizational activities he has played an active role in. The
present collection of essays has been edited to honour Jaakko
Hintikka on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday. By dedicating a
Festschrift to Jaakko Hintikka, the contributors wish to pay homage
to this remarkable man whom they see not only as a scholar of
prodigious energy and insight, but as a friend, colleague and
former teacher. The contributors hope the essays collected here
will bring pleasure to the man they are intended to honour. All of
the essays touch upon topics Hintikka has taken an direct or
indirect interest in, ranging from technical problems of
mathematical logic and applications of formal methods through
philosophical logic, philosophy of language, epistemology and
history of philosophy to philosophical aesthetics.
