Hard copy of course materials and individual handouts were not sent to GMU, instead Warfield prepared three tape-bound reports, titled Lecture Groups 1, 2, and 3, which were shipped to Fenwick in 2000 and are in Box 36 of Warfield Special Collection. This was Complexity Lecture No. 5, of a series of 12 lectures given during 1998 Fall semester at GMU. It was the second of three lectures on the topic of PHILOSOPHY. The folder which opens in the linked PATH field displays several document files, please note that the computer file <lecture5johnsoncenter.wpd> contains the 18 transparencies used during the talk and printed in the handout given to the audience. After the series of 12 Complexity Lectures was finished, copies of the cell-pack pages went into a tape-bound report titled George Mason University Johnson Center Lecture Series on Complexity, Lecture Group 2. The report is in Box 36, Folder 10 of GMU's Warfield Collection at Fenwick Library. Since there is no video of this lecture, it is suggested that students search out another Series of lectures, given in Spring Semester 1999, in which Warfield most certainly discussed this topic. The 1999 lectures were informal talks in a small classroom, but quite thorough and with good audio. The 1999 lecture series was titled :"Resolving Complexity in Organizations." THIS LECTURE WAS NOT VIDEOTAPED. Although we tried to get videotapes of all the Johnson Center Complexity Lectures, this recording for Lecture 5 was a failure, either the student video equipment was faulty, or the student camera operator failed to show up, or maybe both. We hope to get a studio recording of Warfield giving a re-creation of this talk, maybe later.

Here is a list of the transparencies used in the talk. Second-Order Thought is Thought About Thought; KANT: Enlightenment is; "Critical Thinkers1"; "Critical Thinkers2"; "Critical Thinkers3"; "Critical Thinkers4"; Moving from Statements to Formal Notation-1; Moving from Statements to Formal Notation-2; Moving from Statements to Formal Notation-3; Moving from Statements to Formal Notation-4; GIBBS: Three Types of Mathematical Mind; Seven Milestones in the History of Thought; The History of Thought is the History of a Slow Drift Toward Formalism; First Appearance of Mathematical Symbols in Print Part 1, start; Part 2, continue; Part 3, continue; Linkages Among Milestones in the History of Thought; Testing and Selective Revision of Received Doctrine is… (the file names for these transparencies are from Warfield's notes, and he changes file names all the time, so they might not be accurate any longer).
