Part of this paper was presented in Ian Hacking's seminar on ‘The Importance of History To Philosophy of Science,’ at Stanford University. I am very grateful to Hacking for his encouragement, criticisms, and for supplying me with two important papers. I am equally grateful to John Watkins, David Miller, the editor and referees of this journal for their support and extensive written comments on the penultimate draft. Only I am responsible for the end result. Finally, I wish to thank the National Endowment for The Humanities for the Summer, 1979 Fellowship which, among other things, made research on this paper possible under the happiest of circumstances. The paper was read at the American Philosophical Association (Pacific Division) meeting held in Portland, Oregon in March, 1981.
