This book contains selected papers from symposia and contributed
sessions presented at the third biennial meeting of the Philosophy
of Science Association, held in Lansing, Michigan, on October
27-29, 1972. We are grateful to Michigan State University, and
especially to Professor Peter Asquith and his students and
colleagues, for their friendly and efficient hospitality in
organizing the circumstances of the sessions and of the
'intersessions', the unscheduled free time which is so important to
any scholarly gathering. Several of the symposium papers have
unhappily not been made available: those of Alasdair MacIntyre and
Sidney Morgenbesser in the session on the social sciences, that of
Ian Hacking in the session on randomness and that of Imre Lakatos
in the session on discovery and rationality in science. Department
