Relevance logics came of age with the one and only International
Conference on relevant logics in 1974. They did not however become
accepted, or easy to promulgate. In March 1981 we received most of
the typescript of IN MEMORIAM: ALAN ROSS ANDERSON Proceedings of
the International Conference of Relevant Logic from the original
editors, Kenneth W. Collier, Ann Gasper and Robert G. Wolf of
Southern Illinois University. 1 They had, most unfortunately,
failed to find a publisher - not, it appears, because of overall
lack of merit of the essays, but because of the expense of
producing the collection, lack of institutional subsidization, and
doubts of publishers as to whether an expensive collection of
essays on such an esoteric, not to say deviant, subject would sell.
We thought that the collection of essays was still (even after more
than six years in the publishing trade limbo) well worth
publishing, that the subject would remain undeservedly esoteric in
North America while work on it could not find publishers (it is not
so esoteric in academic circles in Continental Europe, Latin
America and the Antipodes) and, quite important, that we could get
the collection published, and furthermore, by resorting to local
means, published comparatively cheaply. It is indeed no ordinary
collection. It contains work by pioneers of the main types of
broadly relevant systems, and by several of the most innovative
non-classical logicians of the present flourishing logical period.
We have slowly re-edited and reorganised the collection and made it
camera-ready.
