The Romanell-Phi Beta Kappa Professorship, first awarded in 1983, was estab-
lished by an endowment from Patrick and Edna Romanell. Patrick Romanell, a
Phi Beta Kappa member from Brooklyn College, was H. Y. Benedict Professor
of Philosophy at the University of Texas, El Paso. The Phi Beta Kappa Society
administers the Professorship, which takes the form of three lectures given
each year by a distinguished philosopher, at his or her home institution, on a
topic important to an audience beyond professional philosophers. The intent of
this series is to publish the results of those lectures in affordable and accessible
editions.

2010, Parmly was a model of basic research, and its faculty and
administration supplied me with stimulation and resources for
a more than a decade and a half. I remain indebted to Bill Yost,
Parmly’s Director, and indeed to everyone there.
Despite all of this help and enjoyment, there were many
times I found it almost too challenging to keep up in two fields,
maintaining a small lab in my office and publishing work in my
home field of philosophy. But the challenges never came from
colleagues in Psychology, whose labs and time and good will
(and often, financial support for research) were open to me
without question. Nor did they come from my well-meaning
philosophy colleagues, who always made space for ideas. By far,
it was the institutional isolation of philosophy from the sciences
that created the most important obstacles to research. I have
often wondered whether philosophers of literature or art iden-
tify the same kind of problematic institutional isolation from
departments of literature and art. At any rate, this isolation made
it chronically difficult to perform research that was at once foun-
dational and empirically well-informed. Separate departments,
separate hiring lines, separate funding sources, separate majors
and distinctive degrees. You could observe their activities from
a distance, but that organizational separation made it difficult for
idea-sharing to occur organically. And so, you establish reading
groups or research centers, in the hope that busy scholars with
disciplinary and departmental responsibilities will make yet
more room in their schedules for another activity. Even when
interdisciplinary centers provide a place for researchers from
different fields to share ideas, these centers are always struggling

Title: Firegod
Language: English
Every evening at sunset, the priests of Merssu stand over their altars
and intone the words.
"He will return. Merssu the Firegod—Merssu, the immortal Bringer of
Fire—will return."
And the people of Merssu's world intone in reply, "He will return."
Throughout the galaxies of hyperspace, wherever the men of
Merssu's world may wander, there are other priests, and other races
that respond, but the ritual is always the same.
"He will return."
And the city waits. The planet waits, and the other planets about the
other stars through all the galaxies of hyperspace wait.
They always will.
