My main debt of gratitude is to the authors who have contributed, and to Peter Momtchiloff at Oxford University Press. All of them offered generous support and incredible patience through the long pro- cess of bringing this volume to fruition. I benefited frequently from the advice of many collaborators, friends, and teachers, including Jc Beall, the late George Boolos, Christopher Gauker, Warren Goldfarb, Volker Halbach, Richard Kimberly Heck, Jeffrey C. King, Ernie Lepore, Charles Parsons, Agustín Rayo, Sanford Shieh, Zoltán Gendler Szabó, and Gabriel Uzquiano. Thanks do not express what I owe to Ching-I. Her strength and her grace amaze and inspire me. Three friends who would have found it interesting passed away while this volume was being prepared: Aldo Antonelli, Delia Graff Fara, and James Higginbotham. This volume is dedicated to their memory.
