The broad range of interdisciplinary concerns which are encompassed
by the philosophy of science have this much in common: (I) they
arise from reflection upon the fundamental concepts, the formal
structures, and the methodology of the sciences; (2) they touch
upon the characteristically philosophical questions of ontology and
epistemology in a unique way, bringing to traditional conceptions
the analytic apparatus of modern logic, and the new content and
conceptual models of active scientific investigations. These
sources are reflected in the present volume, which consists of the
major portion of the papers presented to the Boston Colloquium for
the Philosophy of Science in the academic year 1961-1962. There is
no central theme nor any dominant approach in this colloquium.
Initiated in 1960 as an inter-university interdisciplinary faculty
group, the Colloqnium is intended to foster creative and regular
exchange of research and opinion, to provide a forum for
professional discussion in the philosophy of science, and to
stimulate the development of academic programs in philosophy of
science in the colleges and universities of metropolitan Boston.
The base of the Colloquium is our philosophic and scientific
community, as broad and heterodox as the academic, cultural and
techno logical complex in and about this city. The Colloquium has
been supported in its first full year, as an inter-institutional
cooperative association, by a generous grant to Boston University
from the U. S. National Science Foundation. We are most grateful
for this help."
