This book contains selected papers from symposia and contributed
sessions presented at the third biennial meeting of the Philosophy
of Science Association, held in Lansing, Michigan, on October
27-29, 1972. We are grateful to Michigan State University, and
especially to Professor Peter Asquith and his students and
colleagues, for their friendly and efficient hospitality in
organizing the circumstances of the sessions and of the
'intersessions', the unscheduled free time which is so important to
any scholarly gathering. Several of the symposium papers have
unhappily not been made available: those of Alasdair MacIntyre and
Sidney Morgenbesser in the session on the social sciences, that of
Ian Hacking in the session on randomness and that of Imre Lakatos
in the session on discovery and rationality in science. Department

In the tricyclooctanone approach to polyquinane syntheses[ll the
photochemical rearrangement of bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone, 1a 2a,[2J
has been the initial key reaction providing tricyclo- 2 [3.3.0.0 '
S]octan-3-one as a chiral building block.[3-SJ This reaction - an
oxadi-n-methane (ODPM) process - and the 1,3-acyl shift (AS)
forming the cyclobutanone 3 are quite generally the characteristic
re- arrangement paths undergone by ~,~-unsaturated ketones
(~,~-UKs) upon triplet sensitization and direct excitation with
ultraviolet light, respectively. R' R' hv hv R~O ~ ~ (sens) WO ~ R

a polyvalent building block, the enantiomers of which are readily
accessible from cheap bulk chemicals such as benzene and its
derivatives, the parent system 1a and three younger generations of
its class (Sections 3.1. - 3.4.) have no equal among synthetically
useful photochemical rearrangements. 2. THE PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF
~,~-UNSATURATED KETONES The literature dealing with the
spectroscopy and photo- chemistry of ~,~-UKs has been exhaustively
and critically reviewed around 1975 by Dauben et al.[6l and
