This work is divided into two parts. Part I contains sixteen
critical es says by prominent philosophers and computer scientists.
Their papers offer insightful, well-argued contemporary views of a
broad range of topics that lie at the heart of philosophy in the
second half of the twen tieth century: semantics and ontology,
induction, the nature of prob ability, the foundations of science,
scientific objectivity, the theory of naming, the logic of
conditionals, simulation modeling, the relatiOn be tween minds and
machines, and the nature of rules that guide be havior. In this
volume honoring Arthur W. Burks, the philosophical breadth of his
work is thus manifested in the diverse aspects of that work chosen
for discussion and development by the contributors to his
Festschrift. Part II consists of a book-length essay by Burks in
which he lays out his philosophy of logical mechanism while
responding to the papers in Part I. In doing so, he provides a
unified and coherent context for the range of problems raised in
Part I, and he highlights interesting relationships among the
topics that might otherwise have gone un noticed. Part II is
followed by a bibliography of Burks's published works."
