Serife Tekin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Classics at the University of Texas at San Antonio, USA.Robyn Bluhm is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University, USA.

Compiling a volume of this importance and scope is an ambitious undertaking; completing one of this quality is a prodigious achievement. The field is indebted to Professors Tekin and Bluhm and to the other 27 scholars who contributed chapters to this volume. Their work surely augmented my understanding of myriad aspects of an ever-broadening subdiscipline in which none of us can keep abreast of all developments. I look forward to using this resource in my teaching and I am confident that I will have ample company in that decision.
