Among the several dozens of symposia held on the occasion of the
quincentennial of U ppsala University, there was included one
symposium devoted to the theme of 'Philosophy and Grammar'. A
selection of the most important papers delivered at this symposium
have been collected in this volume. The papers need no
introduction, but the inclusion of two of them in this collection
requires a brief comment. First, the paper by von Wright, although
not directly concerned with the central topic of the symposium, has
been included because it was the terminating speech of the six
parallel symposia (including the symposium on 'Philosophy and
Grammar') held by the Humanities Faculty and moreover, because the
raison d'etre of the Humanities is analyzed in this paper by a very
prominent Swedish-speaking philosopher. Second, Professor Hintikka
was unable to participate. In view of his expertise in the field,
we nevertheless requested him to contribute a paper, so to speak,
post factum. This he very generously did. We wish to express our
sincere appreciation to all who participated and/or helped to carry
the sessions through to a successful conclusion. We also wish to
extend a special thanks to Professor Roman lakobson of Harvard
University, who assumed the responsibility of General Chairman of
the symposium.
