Scope
The purpose of the series is to serve as a vehicle for the pursuit of phenomenological
research across a broad spectrum, including cross-over developments with other
fi elds of inquiry such as the social sciences and cognitive science. Since its
establishment in 1987, C ontributions to Phenomenology has published more than
80 titles on diverse themes of phenomenological philosophy. In addition to
welcoming monographs and collections of papers in established areas of scholarship,
the series encourages original work in phenomenology. The breadth and depth of
the Series refl ects the rich and varied signifi cance of phenomenological thinking for
seminal questions of human inquiry as well as the increasingly international reach
of phenomenological research.
The series is published in cooperation with The Center for Advanced Research in
Phenomenology.

Acknowledgements
We would fi rst and foremost like to thank Dr. Joseph Cohen for giving us the original
idea to stage a conference on the theme of ‘Twenty-First Century Heidegger.’ The
conference took place in September 2010 in Dublin and was generously funded by
the UCD School of Philosophy, the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland, the
International Journal of Philosophical Studies and the Goethe-Institut, Dublin. We
are grateful to our hosts at the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland, especially Dr.
Marc Caball and Valerie Norton. We also wish to express thanks to our three assis-
tants during the run of the conference: Evangelos Giannakakis, Charles O'Donnell
and Fintan Neylan. We additionally thank all participants in that conference and, in
particular, the contributors to this volume. In relation to this volume, we want to
thank the staff at Springer for their assistance throughout this process. We are espe-
cially grateful to Professor Dermot Moran for his advice along the way. We also
want to thank the UCD School of Philosophy and the Department of English
Studies, University of Cyprus, for their unwavering support. Finally, we jointly wish
to thank our families without whom such a venture would be impossible.
