Ernst Specker has made decisive contributions towards shaping direc
tions in topology, algebra, mathematical logic, combinatorics and
algorith mic over the last 40 years. We have derived great pleasure
from marking his seventieth birthday by editing the majority of his
scientific publications, and thus making his work available in a
unified form to the mathematical community. In order to convey an
idea of the richness of his personality, we have also included one
of his sermons. Of course, the publication of these Selecta can pay
tribute only to the writings of Ernst Specker. It cannot adequately
express his originality and wisdom as a person nor the fascination
he exercises over his students, colleagues and friends. We can do
no better than to quote from Hao Wang in the 'Festschrift' Logic
and Algorithmic I: Specker was ill for an extended period before
completing his formal education. He had the leisure to think over
many things. This experi ence may have helped cultivating his
superiority as a person. In terms of traditional Chinese
categories, I would say there is a taoist trait in him in the sense
of being more detached, less competitive, and more under standing.
I believe he has a better sense of what is important in life and
arranges his life better than most logicians. We are grateful to
Birkhauser Verlag for the production of this Selecta volume. Our
special thanks go to Jonas Meon for sharing with us his intimate
knowledge of his friend Ernst Specker."
