Intuition about Aggregation Distribution of Life Conclusion:Philosophy and Policy Notes Index Acknowledgments This book is a descendant ofthe doctoral dissertation I wrote at Yale University,Department ofPolitical Science.I am tremen- dously grateful to Ian Shapiro,the Chair ofmy dissertation ad- visory committee, for his advice and support. Ian is entirely free ofdogmatism,able to see the strengths and weaknesses in every approach.Without such an undogmatic advisor,I prob- ably would not have been able to pursue my own dogmatic utilitarian course.Many thanks also to Rogers Smith and John Roemer,the other members of my advisory committee. Thanks to the three once-anonymous readers who re- viewed my manuscript on behalf of Yale University Press: Anne L.Astott,Ellen Frankel Paul,and Grant Reeher.Thanks also to Julia Driver,who did me the great favor ofreviewing an entire draft of the manuscript.The book is better because of their suggested revisions;remaining mistakes are my own. Many people have read parts of this book,in various in- carnations,and have given me helpful comments,including Jim Murphy,Peter Singer,Greg Forster,Bruce Ackerman,Casiano Hacker-Cordon, Cora True-Frost, Eva Feder Kittay, Robert Cummins, Roger Gottlieb, Margaret Dancy, Udo Schuklenk, and Ruth Chadwick.
