Philosophers of science frequently bemoan (or cheer) the fact that
today, with the supposed collapse of logical empiricism, there are
now;;10 grand systems. However, although this mayor may not be
true, and if true mayor may not be a cause for delight, no one
should conclude that the philosophy of science has ground to a
halt, its problems exhausted and its practioners dispirited. In
fact, in this post Kuhnian age the subject has never been more
alive, as we work with enthusiasm on special topics, historical and
conceptual. And no topic has grown and thrived quite like the
philosophy of biology, which now has many students in the field
producing high-quality articles and monographs. The success of this
subject is due above all to the work and influence of one man:
David Hull. In his own writings and in the support he has given to
others, he has shown true leadership, in the best Platonic sense.
It is now twenty years since Hull fnt gave his seminal paper 'What
the philosophy of biology is not', and to mark that point and to
show our respect, gratitude and affection to its author, a number
of us who owe much to Hull decided to produce a volume of essays on
and around themes to which Hull has spoken."
