acknowledgments Work on this book was generously supported by a Mednick Memorial Fellowship through the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges and several Summer Faculty Research Grants from Hampden-Sydney College. During the course of writing the book I incurred many debts to colleagues and scholars. I am grateful in particular to Robert Muehlmann, Daniel Flage, Tom Stoneham, Michael LeBuffe, Tom Lennon, and several anonymous referees whose comments and discussions have improved the quality of this endeavor. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Ian and Diana Tipton, who in the summer of 2004 provided me with a place to stay, excellent food, and days of stimulating discussion about matters early modern. Some parts of the book are based on earlier publications of mine. Parts of chapter 4 are based on ‘‘Locke’s Implicit Ontology of Ideas,’’ The British Journal of the History of Philosophy 9, no. 1 (2001): 17–42. Section 6.6.1 is based on ‘‘The New Berkeley,’’ with Walter Ott, Canadian Journal of Philosophy 34, no. 1 (2004): 1–24. Portions of chapter 7 draw on my ‘‘Defending Berkeley’s Divine Ideas,’’ Philosophia 33, nos. 1–4 (2005): 97–128. Sections 8.5–8.10 are based on ‘‘Why We Do Not See What We Feel,’’ Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 83, no. 2 (2002): 148–62. All of these materials are used with the gracious permission of the journals, and I express my gratitude to them for their use. ...
