Interpolations: Essays in Honor of William Craig

Last year in May, Berkeley held a conference in honor of Bill Craig, who will turn 90 this coming November. Bill is probably best known for the Craig Interpolation Theorem and the theorem that every recursively enumerable theory is recursively axiomatizable. Just in time, the Festschrift arising from that conference has appeared online. It’s a special issue of Synthese, edited by Paolo Mancosu. The table of contents is below; Paolo’s introduction contains a nice outline of Bill’s life and work.
