Volume 1 focuses on the importance of Harris’s work in the philosophy of science and in theoretical linguistics. It begins with a survey article by Harris himself, which was hitherto unavailable in English.
Volume 2 explores Harris’s profound influence in formal systems and applied mathematics, in demonstrations of the computability of language, and in informatics. This volume begins with a commentary by André Lentin on Harris’s grounding in constructivist, intuitionist mathematics, drawing a parellel between his central insights and those of Gödel and others which were of like import in the foundations of mathematics.
