Acknowledgements
All of the papers in this volume were presented at the Conference on Values, Rational Choice, and the Will held at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point in April 2004. A total of close to a hundred original papers were presented over the course of three days. The conference and the publication of the selection of papers in this volume were made possible by the kind support of the Interim Chancellor Virginia Helm, College of Letters and Science Dean Justus Paul, and the Department of Philosophy under the leadership of Professor Donald Fadner. Department secretary Carolee Cote helped in innumerable ways before and during the conference. Professor J David Velleman gave the opening keynote paper ‘The Centered Self’ at the conference, which is now published in his Self to Self (Cambridge University Press, 2005) and therefore not included here. Floor Oosting and the editorial staff of Springer have been very helpful and professional in guiding me through the process of getting this volume reviewed and out in print. Laurie Winship is responsible for compiling the index for the book.
