The essays in this volume are the result of a workshop held at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in April, 1979.
The assembled group was diverse, comprised of philosophers,
economists, and statisticians. But it was not the complete group on
which we had initially planned. Richard Rudner was in France on
sabbatical and was unable to fly back for the occa sion. His
untimely death the following summer saddened us all, for we lost
not just a colleague but a friend. This book is dedicated to him
out of the spirit of friendship and in appreciation for the ground
breaking work he did in the philosophy of the social sciences. In
addition to the participants, a number of people worked very hard
to make our gathering possible. We are especially indebted to Dean
Henry Bauer, Dean Ernie Stout and Dean John Ballweg of the College
of Arts and Sciences at Virginia Tech for their good will and
support, both moral and substantive. We would also like to thank
Professor Guy Hammond, Head, Department of Philosophy and Religion,
for his council and assistance. Our special thanks to Jeanne
Keister and Betty Davis for their patience with unending typing and
reservations, and finally to Barbara Kersey, always at hand, ever
helpful. Without them nothing would have transpired."
