The eminent philosopher of science Carl G. Hempel, Stuart Professor
of Philosophy at Princeton University and a Past President of the
American Philosophical Association, has had a long and
distinguished academic career in the course of which he has been
professorial mentor to some of America's most distinguished
philosophers. This volume gathers together twelve original papers
by Hempel's students and associates into a volume intended to do
homage to Hempel on the occasion of his 65th year in 1970. The
papers are grouped around the unifying topic of Hempel's own
interests in logic and philosophy of science, the great majority
dealing with issues on inductive logic and the theory of scientific
explanatio- problems to which Hempel has devoted the bulk of his
outstandingly fruitful efforts. With the approach of 'Peter'
Hempel's 65th birthday, an editorial committee sprang into being by
an uncannily spontaneous process to prepare to commemorate this
event with an appropriate Festschrift. The editors were pleased to
receive unfailingly prompt and efficient coopera tion on the part
of all contributors. The responsibility of seeing the work through
the press was assumed by Nicholas Rescher. The editors are grateful
to all concerned for their collaboration. ALAN ROSS ANDERSON PAUL
