The decision to undertake this volume was made in 1971 at Lake Como
during the Varenna summer school ofthe Italian Physical Society,
where Professor Leon Rosenfeld was lecturing on the history of
quantum theory. We had long been struck by the unique blend of
epistemological, histori cal and social concerns in his work on the
foundations and development of physics, and decided to approach him
there with the idea of publishing a collection of his papers. He
responded enthusiastically, and agreed to help us select the
papers; furthermore, he also agreed to write a lengthy introduction
and to comment separately on those papers that he felt needed
critical re-evaluation in the light of his current views. For he
was still vigorously engaged in both theoretical investigations of,
and critical not reflections on the foundations of theoretical
physics. We certainly did conceive of the volume as a memorial to a
'living saint', but rather more practically, as a useful tool to
place in the hands of fellow workers and students engaged in
wrestling with these difficult problems. All too sadly, fate has
added a memorial aspect to our labors. We agreed that in order to
make this book most useful for the con temporary community of
physicists and philosophers, we should trans late all non-English
items into English."
