Talk by N. R. Hanson
Lecturer in the Philosophy of Science in the University of Cambridge
There was a time when physicists could think about atoms only by visualising them. This implied a concept of atomic structure which scientific explanation has transcended. ' Only when the quest for picturability ended,' says Mr. Hanson, ' was the real nature of explanation within all Natural Philosophy made clear to us.'

Talk by Philip E. Hughes
The reputation which Johann Reuchlin built up in the Germany of the Reformation was based mainly on his achievements in the field of Hebrew learning. His Rudiments of Hebrew was published before the Reformation. In this talk Mr. Hughes explains Reuchlin's interpretation of the Jewish Cabala with special reference to the secret names of God as disclosed in his book The Cabalistic Art, which appeared in the same year as Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door.
