Abstract

(The papers that follow were originally presented in symposium form at the meeting of Canadian Learned Societies at Vancouver in May 1983. They are remarkable in having been contributed by authorities from a variety of fields, all claiming to support the same radical conclusion. Each paper brings with it not only the authentic smell of the lamp, however, but also a distant whiff of will o' the wisp. Anyone who succeeds in making sense of these papers is probably making a mistake. But let the authors speak for themselves, as they unfortunately have undertaken to do.) RÉSUMÉ Les articles ont été présentés à l'origine sous forme de colloque à l'assemblée des Sociétés savantes canadiennes qui a eu lieu à Vancouver en mai 1983. Ils sont remarquables en ce sens qu'ils ont été rédigés par des sommités dans plusieurs domaines qui prétendent toutes à la même conclusion radicale. Chaque article ne sent pas seulement la lampe à pétrole mais également le feu follet; quiconque parvient à trouver le sens de ces articles est probablement dans l'erreur. Mais laissons la parole aux auteurs puisqu'ils l'ont demandée.
