Concerning <strong>the</strong> translations in <strong>the</strong> appendix, we would like especially to<br />

At Purdue University, numerous students responded, through insightful<br />

papers <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r discussion, to parts of this work that we presented in graduate<br />

seminars. We also acknowledge valuable research assistance from <strong>the</strong><br />

following graduate <strong>and</strong> undergraduate students: Albert Bowers, Keziah Fusco,<br />

Kaveh Hemmat, Petra Kleinlein, Li Fei, Shannon Linehan, Ashley Passmore,<br />

Neal Patel, Peishan Tan, <strong>and</strong> Tanya Tang.<br />

We benefited from various forms of financial support during <strong>the</strong> course<br />

of researching this work, especially for support from <strong>the</strong> Research Incentive<br />

Grant program of Purdue University's School of Liberal Arts, without which<br />

<strong>the</strong> new translations for <strong>the</strong> appendix would not have been possible. In 1994,<br />

Afary's trip to Paris was supported by a Purdue University Research Foundation<br />

grant <strong>and</strong> Anderson's by a travel grant from Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Illinois University.<br />

The American Philosophical Society underwrote Anderson's travel to Paris<br />

in 1996. Mary benefited from a one-semester research leave in <strong>the</strong> spring of<br />

1999 through Purdue's Center for Humanistic Studies. The Soros Foundation<br />

funded Afary's travel to Paris in 2003.<br />

Additionally, we would like to thank <strong>the</strong> following members of <strong>the</strong> support<br />

staff at Purdue University for various forms of assistance, including photocopying<br />
