The thirty-one papers collected in this volume represent most of
the arti cles that I have published in the philosophy of science
and related founda tional areas of science since 1970. The present
volume is a natural succes sor to Studies in the Methodology and
Foundations of Science, a collection of my articles published in
1969 by Reidel (now a part of Kluwer). The articles are arranged
under five main headings. Part I contains six articles on general
methodology. The topics range from formal methods to the plurality
of science. Part II contains six articles on causality and
explanation. The emphasis is almost entirely on probabilistic
approaches. Part III contains six articles on probability and
measurement. The impor tance of representation theorems for both
probability and measurement is stressed. Part IV contains five
articles on the foundations of physics. The first three articles
are concerned with action at a distance and space and time, the
last two with quantum mechanics. Part V contains eight articles on
the foundations of psychology. This is the longest part and the
articles reflect my continuing strong interest in the nature of
learning and perception. Within each part the articles are arranged
chronologically. I turn now to a more detailed overview of the
content. The first article of Part I concerns the role of formal
methods in the philosophy of science. Here I discuss what is the
new role for formal methods now that the imperialism of logical
positivism has disappeared."
