Portions of this manuscript were written with the generous support of the San Francisco State University Sabbatical Award. The book benefitted greatly from the feedback I received on material related to it presented in the following venues: the West Coast Hume Workshop, the 41st International Hume Society Conference, and department colloquia at the University of California at Santa Cruz, Occidental College, the University of Oklahoma, and Wayne State University. Comments on drafts from Jonathan Cottrell and Hsueh Qu were also very helpful, stimulating, and insightful. As always, Margo Landy provided an enormous amount and variety of support. Any faults that remain after the contributions of so many helpful readers are of course all my own.
