During Hallowe'en of 1970, the Department of Philosophy of the
Univer sity of Western Ontario held its annual fall colloquium at
London, On tario. The general topic of the sessions that year was
conceptual change. The thirteen papers composing this volume stem
more or less directly from those meetings; six of them are printed
here virtually as delivered, while the remaining seven were
subsequently written by invitation. The programme of the colloquium
was to have consisted of major papers delivered by Professors
Wilfrid Sellars, Stephan Korner, Paul Ziff and Hilary Putnam, with
shorter commentary thereupon by Professors Robert Binkley, Joseph
Ullian, Jerry Fodor and Robert Barrett, respec tively. And that is
the way it happened, with one important exception: at the eleventh
hour, Sellars and Binkley exchanged roles. This gave Binkley the
rather unusual and challenging task of providing a suitable
Sellarsian answer to a question not of his own asking - for
Binkley's paper was written under Sellars' original title. Sellars'
own contribution to the vo lume is perhaps more nearly what he
would have presented as main speaker than a direct response to
Binkley. However, it has seemed best, on balance, to attempt no
further stylistic accommodation of the one paper to the other;
their mutual philosophical relevance will be evident in any case.
The editors would here like to extend special thanks to both
Sellars and Binkley for their extraordinary efforts under the
circumstances."
