While I have learned an enormous amount from each of these four fine scholars, they cannot be blamed for my mistakes. Also deserving of thanks are my friends in the North American Sartre Society and at Sartre Studies International, especially Bruce Baugh and Connie Mui. One does not even have to perform the eidetic reduction to realize that they are the best of colleagues. My colleagues in philosophy at Purdue University Calumet have helped me to develop my ideas over many years of stimulating philosophical discussions, both informally and through our regular colloquia. In this connection, I would like to thank John Wachala, Connie Sowa-Wachala, Neil Florek, Phyllis Bergiel, John Rowan, Eugene Schlossberger, Renee Conroy, Sam Zinaich, David Turpin, Robin Turpin, Howard Cohen, Charmaine Boswell, Kevin Kliver, Michael Stevens, Jason Melton, and Stephen Meinster. I apologize to anyone I have forgotten. Finally, as always, my biggest thanks go to Kerri and Arlo, for their love, support, encouragement, ideas, and life-sustaining sense of fun.
