Nathan Jun is assistant professor of philosophy and coordinator of the philosophy program at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. He is the author of Anarchism and Political Modernity (2011) and the co-editor of Deleuze and Ethics (with Daniel W. Smith, 2011) and New Perspectives on Anarchism (with Shane Wahl, 2009). Shane Wahl is currently an instructor in philosophy at Ivy Tech Community College in Lafayette, Indiana, where he lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their son, Elliot. He is the co-editor of New Perspectives on Anarchism (with Nathan Jun, 2009) and is working on various articles on Nietzsche, Sartre, and anarchy.

William McBride has been a tireless advocate for Sartre studies. In fact it was due to his efforts that the North American Sartre Society came into existence: a society that has been thriving ever since and will in 2013 be organizing its twentieth conference. His knowledge of philosophy is encyclopedic and his awareness of trends knows no bounds. He is an indefatigable traveler and he is usually on his way to some faraway city to organize or attend a conference, give a paper or sit on a committee. Everyone knows Bill for his carefully pondered insights and clearly articulated comments and, as a consequence, this tribute should find an appreciative audience worldwide.
