Series III. Shimony Manuscripts, 1950-2007
|
Scope and Content Notes: There are both published and unpublished manuscripts in this series. In the unpublished manuscripts sub-series there are a small number of manuscripts that are transcripts of critical comments or responses that Shimony made about a talk given at a conference. There are also records of comments on manuscripts sent to Shimony by other philosphers of science. The items in the published manuscripts sub-series are manuscripts that are the precursors of articles presenting original research or thought that Shimony went on to have published in professional journals.
|
Subseries 1. Unpublished Manuscripts, 1969-2006
|
Scope and Content Notes: These are materials connected with Shimony's professional work that were not published, or at least not published in this form. Some of the material may have been published as part of other works.
