ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am extremely grateful to my editors at Palgrave Macmillan: Sarah Lawrence, Leila Campoli and Luba Ostashevsky, who have lent their insight, hard work and passion to the writing and rewriting of various chapters of this monograph. I evoke with gratitude the memory of Csilla Lovas, who first drew my attention to my own turning toward a dualist thinking that I also employ in this book. I am grateful to Dr. Margit Köcski, Viktoria Pais, Eszter Garai and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladislav Lektorsky who have listened to me when I have presented my thoughts about activity, social identity and identity economics, and have read rough versions of chapters of this book; their judgement and comments have strengthened and quite often corrected my thinking. Thanks to my graduate and postgraduate students at Nice University (France), Szeged University (Hungary), and Moscow State University, who when they have listened to my courses and participated in my seminars have argued with me. Finally, I thank my family: Magi, Eszter, Judit, Moira, Maia, Zoli, Botond, Marko and Robin, who have endured my absent presence and given unfailing support during the long time of work on the book.
