The following article (7 pages) is available:

"Are operads algebraic theories?"

I exhibit a pair of non-symmetric operads that, although not themselves
isomorphic, induce isomorphic monads. The existence of such a pair implies
that if 'algebraic theory' is understood as meaning 'monad', operads
cannot be regarded as algebraic theories of a special kind.
