This third volume of Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science
contains papers which are based upon Colloquia from 1964 to 1966.
In most cases, they have been substantially modified subsequent to
presentation and discussion. Once again we publish work which goes
beyond technical analysis of scientific theories and explanations
in order to include philo sophical reflections upon the history of
science and also upon the still problematic interactions between
metaphysics and science. The philo sophical history of scientific
ideas has increasingly been recognized as part of the philosophy of
science, and likewise the cultural context of the genesis of such
ideas. There is no school or attitude to be taken as de fining the
scope or criteria of our Colloquium, and so we seek to under stand
both analytic and historical aspects of science. This volume, as
the previous two, constitutes a substantial part of our final
report to the U. S. National Science Foundation, which has
continued its support of the Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy
of Science by a grant to Boston University. That report will be
concluded by a subse quent volume of these Studies. It is a
pleasure to record our thanks to the Foundation for its confidence
and funds. We dedicate this book to the memory of Norwood Russell
Hanson. During this academic year of 1966-67, this beloved and
distinguished American philosopher participated in our Colloquium,
and he did so before."
