Acknowledgments
We feel extremely fortunate yet humbled to have had a chance to work on a topic of such importance. The complexity and scope of the issues that this volume addresses called for a broadly interdisciplinary and international collaborative effort. We are deeply grateful to the contributors who collectively generated an interdisciplinary insight on the ideas, historical changes, and social arrangements across centuries and geographic areas ranging from ancient Rome to modern Europe, from China to the world of Islam, and from the Americas to Israel and Eurasia.

We thank the Chilean Research Council (Fonde
