Zaner, Vanderbilt University, TN, USA Scope The purpose of the series is to serve as a vehicle for the pursuit of phenomenological research across a broad spectrum, including cross-over developments with other fi elds of inquiry such as the social sciences and cognitive science. Since its establishment in 1987, Contributions to Phenomenology has published more than 80 titles on diverse themes of phenomenological philosophy. In addition to welcoming monographs and collections of papers in established areas of scholarship, the series encourages original work in phenomenology. The breadth and depth of the Series refl ects the rich and varied signifi cance of phenomenological thinking for seminal questions of human inquiry as well as the increasingly international reach of phenomenological research. The series is published in cooperation with The Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/5811 Tziovanis Georgakis • Paul J.

We are grateful to our hosts at the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland, especially Dr. Marc Caball and Valerie Norton. We also wish to express thanks to our three assis- tants during the run of the conference: Evangelos Giannakakis, Charles O'Donnell and Fintan Neylan. We additionally thank all participants in that conference and, in particular, the contributors to this volume. In relation to this volume, we want to thank the staff at Springer for their assistance throughout this process. We are espe- cially grateful to Professor Dermot Moran for his advice along the way. We also want to thank the UCD School of Philosophy and the Department of English Studies, University of Cyprus, for their unwavering support. Finally, we jointly wish to thank our families without whom such a venture would be impossible. Nicosia, Cyprus Tziovanis Georgakis Dublin, Republic of Ireland Paul J.
