xi Acknowledgments Socrates taught that philosophy begins with conversation, with the questioning and response that marks dialectic. This book also developed through a series of conversations. Thus, acknowledgment is above all due to those with whom I shared and developed the themes of the present work. I am grateful, first of all, to Dr. Barbara Weber of the University of Regensburg, with whom I worked out the conceptions of the central chapter of this book, “Public Space,” during a daylong conversation in Strasbourg. Dr. Michael Staudigl and I worked on the theme of violence during my stay at the Institute of Human Sciences in Vienna. My gratitude goes out not just to Dr. Staudigl but also to the institute for its hospitality . I also would like to acknowledge Professor Branko Klun of the University of Ljubljana for the many insights he shared with me on the theme of politics and religion. I wish also to thank Professor Ernst Hankamer of Bonn-Mehlen for his friendship and for the many political discussions we have had over the years. Finally, I must express my gratitude to my wife, Josephine. Without her careful proofreading and suggestions for improving my text, it would not have reached its present form. Some of the chapters appearing in this volume are reworked versions of previously published articles. Acknowledgment is made to the publishing houses, periodicals, and persons who own the rights to those articles for their kind permission to republish all or part of the articles. For information on their original publication, see the unnumbered notes for each chapter. I also wish to thank the director of the Husserl Archives in Louvain, Professor Rudolph Bernet, for granting me permission to quote from Husserl’s Nachlass. Finally, grateful acknowledgment is due to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for a grant supporting the research that made this book possible.
