Additional information

This paper is an attempt to bring to bear on topics of central concern to this Conference lines of thought which I have developed in three recent papers: ‘Conceptual Change’, in Pearce et al. (eds.), Conceptual Change, D. Reidel Publishing Company, Dordrecht, Holland, 1973; ‘Reply to Quine’, Synthese 26 (1973), also published by D. Reidel; and ‘Reply to Marras’, in The Canadian Journal of Philosophy 2 (1973), published by the Canadian Assoication for Publishing in Philosophy, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta. Substantial portions of these papers have been reprinted in the following text. [The editors wish to express their appreciation to D. Reidel Publishing Company and The Canadian Journal of Philosophy for permission to reprint these portions of Professor Sellar's paper.]
