Theory, TypeTheoryandSemanticsheldinAmherstonMarch13-16 1986.The
conference brought together logicians, philosophers, com puter
scientists and linguists who had been working on these issues
(often in isolation from one another).Ourintent wastoboostdebate
and exchange of ideas on these fundamental issuesat a time ofrapid
changeinsemanticsandcognitivescience. The paperspublished in
thiswork have evolved substantially since their original
presentation at the conference. Given their scope, we thought it
convenient to divide the work into two volumes.The first deals
primarily withlogicaland philosophical foundations, the second with
more empirical semantic issues.Whilethere isa common set of
issuestyingthetwovolumestogether, theyareboth self-containedand
canbereadindependentlyofoneanother.

nevertheless included here for their direct relevance to the
topicsofthevolumes. Regrettably, some of the papers that were
presented (Feferman, Klein, and Plotkin) could not be included in
the presentwork due to timingproblems. Wenevertheless thank
