My research has been supported by the Thyssen Foundation, whose generosity permitted me to accept the invitation to comment on the lecture. I have profited from conversations with Nancy Cartwright, William Demopoulos, Hilary Putnam and Abner Shimony, as well as from the views of participants in a seminar at Cambridge University.

Kochen’s paper, given at the PSA Meeting and discussed in these comments, was not submitted for publication. Dr. Healey’s comments are reasonably self-contained and were thought to be worth publishing even without the paper on. which the comments are being made.
