[email protected] Dale Jacquette died on August 22, 2016, at the too-early age of 63. He was stricken by a pulmonary embolism at his home in Brügg and expired the following day. He leaves his wife Tina Jacquette (née Traar), his son Scott, and grandsons David and Jason. The present number of the IfCoLoG Journal of Logics and Their Applications has been assembled to honour Dale’s memory and as a tribute to the substantial impact he has had on the philosophy of his day. In organizing the tribute, it was decided to give wide latitude to its authors. After all, not everyone who recognizes Dale’s importance is a Jacquette scholar. My own view of the matter was that if we made the tribute solely an exercise in Jacquettian scholarship, we would lose the opportunity to expose him to an even wider philosophical audience. A further factor was Dale’s extraordinary philosophical versatility. He was well- informed about virtually everything that has mattered in philosophy’s long reign. In my last conversation with him the summer before his death, he had dazzling things to say about how Church’s paradox might be recovered from, from which a further guideline would later emerge for the selection of authors. If someone of note had known Dale’s personally, or had had professional contact with him, he would be free to write on anything that interested Dale. Other criteria were similarly flexible. If someone didn’t know Dale personally or have professional contact with him, he would be welcome to contribute a paper on something he himself specializes in, provided that this too was an area in which Dale specialized. Equally welcome, needless to say, were papers that focused on some or other aspect of the Jacquette oeuvre. A final guideline was this. We would invite philosophers who, by acquaintance or reputation, Dale would be honoured to see in a publication such as this one. I was first reader of the papers that appear here, and the task of second reader was mostly performed by one or other of our authors. There were a few occasions when an “outside” reader would be called upon. In that regard, my warm thanks to Johan Marek, Mark Migotti and Daniel Parrochia. I am grateful to general editor Dov Gabbay for the hospitality of his journal and to Jane Spurr for her assistance in readying this number for publication. I am espe- cially indebted to Tina Jacquette for her support of the project, and for her timely Vol. 4 No. 11 2017 IFCoLog Journal of Logics and their Applications Woods help on details of Dale’s early academic life. My largest and proudest gratitude is to the talented philosophers who have made this number the philosophical success that we had all set out to make. 3558 Received 11 December 2017 Dale Jacquette: An Appreciation John Woods University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. [email protected] Dale Jacquette was Ordentlicher Professor mit Schwerpunkt Theoretische at Uni- versität Bern (Senior Professorial Chair in Logic and Theoretical Philosophy). Born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, he was educated there until high school matriculation and admission to Oberlin College. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1975 with an Honours BA in Philosophy, under the supervision of Robert Grimm. His honours thesis was entitled “Aristotle on identity and individuation”. That same year he was elected to the prestigous Honour Society Phi Beta Kappa. Instead of taking a “gap year”, which was then coming into vogue, he spent a year at Temple University talking to Bill Wisdom and Hugues Leblanc, and followed with a year at Leeds chat- ting with Peter Geach, in each case enlarging his appreciation
