Typescript drafts of Foreword and Acknowledgements

This sub-series relates to the Conference on Common Denominators in Art and Science, University of Edinburgh, 11-12 November 1981. This conference was organised by Martin Rivers Pollock and his colleagues in the School of Epistemics at the University of Edinburgh. It brought together scientists, historians, philosophers and artists. The proceedings were published, with Pollock as editor, but there was some difficulty with the recording of the discussions which followed each paper and there is significant material relating to Pollock’s efforts to produce an accurate and intelligible version of what was said by each contributor. At Coll-1586/G/2/G.43-G.81 is an extensive sequence of correspondence, found in Pollock’s expanding wallet, with possible speakers, participants and funders.
