The papers presented here derive from the 4th International
Confe:--ence on History and Philosophy of Science held in
Blacksburg, Virginia, U. S. A. , November 2-6, 1982. The Conference
was sponsored by the I nternational Union of History and Philosophy
of Science and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
(Virginia Tech). Particular thanks go to L. Jonathan Cohen,
Secretary of the Union, as well as to Dean Henry Bauer of the
College of Arts & Sciences, Wilfred Jewkes and the Center for
Programs in the Humanities, Arthur Donovan and the Center for the
Study of Science in Society and the Department of Philoso- phy and
Religion at Virginia Tech. Not only did they come through with the
necessat"y funds, but they were all always ready with a helping
hand when things got confusing. Two additional groups of
individuals require a special note of thanks. First, considerable
appreciation is due the mem- bers of the Joint Commission of the I
nternational Union of History and Philosophy of Science: Maurice
Crosland, Risto Hilpinen and Vladimir Kirsanov. They were more than
gen- erous in thei r advice and co-operation. The Local Organizing
Committee (Kenneth Alpern, Roger Ariew, Arthur Donovan, Larry
Laudan, Ann La Berge, Duncan Porter, Eleonore Stump and Dennis
Welch) not only demon- strated efficiency and insured a pleasant
stay for' all participants, but also went out of their way on
numerous occasions to make everyone feel at home.
