ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This
study was thought out and written in a period of two years during which
I was able to dedicate myself completely to academic research and philosophical
reflection. This singular opportunity was made possible by two generous
grants of the Ford Foundation and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
To both institutions I want to express my deepest
appreciation.
