at the University of Houston. Ted Estess, the dean of the college, arranged
a semester's leave and a grant so that I could finish the book (which I did in

Cynthia Freeland encouraged me at the moments when I most needed it.
Robert Zaretsky has been a special friend of this book, and so has Peter J.

a loving and patient companion.

This work is about debt and inheritance, about the self as largely com-
posed of cultural material that is shaped by a contingent process of social-
ization. Hence a person is, as Nietzsche would say, a piece of fate, the
product of ineluctable fortune. It has been my incredible good fortune to
be raised by the most loving of parents. Anything worthwhile in this
account is the product of their intellectual curiosity, the joy they bring to
their pursuits, their wisdom. This book is dedicated to them.
