The aim of the series as a whole is to take up anew the challenge of
considering the scientific enterprise in its entirety in light of the
consequences of recent developments in logic and philosophy.  
Developments in logic are especially relevant to the current situation in
philosophy of science.  At present, no single logic, no single approach to
semantics and no well-defined conception of scientific method currently
dominates the philosophy of science.  At the same time, questions
concerning linguistic, reductionist and foundationalist approach to
epistemology, the disputes concerning the distinctions between analytic
and synthetic and between semantics and pragmatics are illuminated by
important developments in logic. Given the power of developments in, for
example, IF logic, dialogical logics, linear logics, discussions on the
unity of science are even more intriguing and urgent than in the 20th
century.  This volume aims to explore through extensive co-operation, new
ways of achieving the integration of science in all its diversity.
