A group of axioms for quantum field theory are discussed. This group varies in some respects from that of Lehmann, Symanzik, and Zimmermann, but it retains Lorentz-invariance, asymptotic conditions, and causality. The starting point in the development of these axioms is the nonrelativistic canonical field theory, which is applied in a restricted sense to the relativistic case. As a consequence of the Theorem of Haag, the concept of local, causal fields must be generalized. (tr-auth)
