At last year’s PAT-Net meeting in Cleveland, Richard Box asked me write a history of the Network—perhaps on the assumption that I was its oldest living member. Although that would not quite be accurate, I have been associated with PAT-Net throughout its several incarnations, and, indeed, participated in some of the events (and wars) that preceded its founding. I mention this not to take any credit for the Network’s development; quite the contrary, my inquiry has served as a reminder of how meager, compared to those of the many people mentioned here, my own efforts have been. Perhaps my relative distance from the real work performed by so many of PAT-Net’s members over the past twenty-five years, however, can serve as a fair surrogate for objectivity, a quality that in any case few of us take seriously.
During the early stages of this project, I considered including a brief intellectual history of the Network—a rough content analysis tracking the evolution of the intellectual fashions and themes reflected in the twenty-five volumes of Dialogue and ATP—in addition to recounting the events, dates, places, and actors (especially the heroes) indispensable to an adequate chronology.
Alas, I soon realized that writing an intellectual history, in addition to a more conventional chronology, would be overly ambitious in view of the space (and time) limits I had imposed on myself. I do hope, though, that someone else will someday see fit to take on that task. Thus, my more modest ambition in writing this brief history is mainly to satisfy the curiosity of those relative newcomers who may have wondered how, when, and why the Network came into being.
I also hope to evoke enough nostalgia among those members who participated in the founding to, among other things, prompt them to fill in the gaps in the story and correct the errors that it no doubt contains.
