The question of whether the volume should be arranged on the basis of philosophical themes and topics or organized on the basis of the philosophical thought of individual thinkers provedtobethefirstchallenge.Intellectuallythefirstoptionseemedtobethe most rewarding (and difficult); it was also the one on which there was little consensusamongcontributorstotheprojectaboutjusthowathematicvolume mightbestructured.Theeventualdecisiontostructurethevolumeonthebasis of the philosophical thought of individual thinkers, in addition to being organizationallymorestraightforward,hadthebenefitofenablingauthorsto address issues of historical context more directly, and also to explore more systematically how individual thinkers had used particular combinations of concepts to frame their philosophical views. The choice of which thinkers to include was made through a combination of inviting the participation of contributors with acknowledged expertise on particular thinkers and also allowing contributors to choose the thinkers and ideas they wanted to introduce.
