At the 1969 annual meeting of the American Association for the Ad
vancement ofScience, held in Boston on December 27-29, a sequence
of symposia on the philosophical foundations of science was
organized jointly by Section L of the Association and the Boston
Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science. Section L is devoted to
the history, philos ophy, logic and sociology of science, with
broad connotations extended both to 'science' and to 'philosophy'.
With collaboration generously extended by other and more
specialized Sections of the AAAS, the Section L program took an
unusually rich range of topics, and indeed the audiences were
large, and the discussions lively. This book, regrettably delayed
in publication, contains the major papers from those symposia of
1969. In addition, it contains the distin guished George Sarton
Memorial Lecture of that meeting, 'Boltzmann, Monocycles and
Mechanical Explanation' by Martin J. Klein. Some additions and
omissions should be noted: In Part 1, dedicated to the 450th
anniversary of the birth of Leonardo da Vinci, we have been una bie
to include a contrihution by Elmer Belt who was prevented by storms
from participating. In Part II, on physics and the explanation of
life, we were unable to persuade Isaac Asimov to overcome his
modesty about the historical remarks he made under the title
'Arrhenius Revisited'."
