We are grateful to the University of Portland for funding a sabbatical during which we were able to assemble the formative elements of this text and a research trip to Europe where, among other opportunities, we worked at the Husserl Archive in Louvain, Belgium, and met with Dr. Medard Boss at his home in Zurich. Our discussions with Dr. Boss—on Heidegger and Freud, and the relationship between the two—proved invaluable to Richard Askay and Franz Mayr in translating the Zollikon Seminars , and in the development of this book. We feel especially privileged to have had access to Dr. Mayr’s limitless knowledge of philosophy over the last two decades, and have deeply appreciated his humor and his friendship. In addition, we want to thank Ms. Rayne Funk for her ancillary services, and the editors at Northwestern University Press for all their work on this project. Dr. Askay would also like to acknowledge the strong formative and seminal influences of Dr. Calvin O. Schrag and Dr. William L. McBride upon the emergence of this volume. Dr. Askay and Ms. Farquhar would both like to thank Dr. Larry Bowlden for his immense impact on their lives, philosophically and personally. We are grateful to Dr. Wayne Swenson, whose background in physics compels him to insist that there is no unconscious, and to Dr. Elizabeth Swenson, who supports us in our passionate plea that there is. A special thanks to Nick and Carol Farquhar whose love and dedication have shown us the benefits of apprehending the inaccessible in our own lives. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation and love to our sons Søren, Tyler, and Emerson for their enduring patience and understanding during the several years it has taken us to bring about the birth of this book. Hopefully they will find a way to forgive us for the numerous (and at times, apparently nonsensical) discussions that interrupted and impeded family interactions. Acknowledgments xvii ...
