It is fitting that Professor Dirk Jan Struik be greeted with this
melange of mathematical, scientific, historical, sociological and
political essays. The authors are also appropriately varied:
different countries, outlooks, religions, generations, and we
suppose - of course we did not as- different politics too. Many
more would have joined us, we know, but the good friends in this
book make a fine and representative assembly of the intersection of
two (mathematical ) classes: affectionately respect ful admirers of
Dirk Struik, and the best thinkers of this troubled century. Struik
has been among the most steadfast supporters of the Boston
Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science, that discussion group
which we have been holding at Boston University since 1960, but his
luminous collaboration has been welcome, in Boston and Cambridge,
for nearly five decades among mathematicians, physicists,
philosophical and political thinkers, and especially among the
students. It has not mattered whether they have been his own
students or not, whether at M.LT. or elsewhere, whether scholars or
dropouts, nature-lovers or book worms, anarchists or Republicans,
Catholics or Unitarians, Communists or communists, prim or
liberated. No doubt he has his preferences But the main thing for
Struik has been to educate and respect the other person."
