The idea to produce the current volume was conceived by Jiirgen
Mittelstrass and Robert E. Butts in 1978. Idealist philosophers are
wrong about one thing: the temporal gap separating idea and reality
can be very long indeed - even ten or so years Problems of timing
were joined by personal problems and by the pressure of other
professional commitments. Fortunately, James Brown agreed to
cooperate in the editing of the volume; the infusion of his usual
energy, good judgement and good-natured promptness saved the volume
and made its produc tion possible. Despite the delays, the messages
of the papers included in the book have not gone stale. An
extremely worthwhile exercise in international philosophical
cooperation has come to fruition; the German constructivist
philosophical position is here represented in papers in English
that will make its contemporary importance available to a larger
audience. The editors owe thanks to many persons. All involved in
the project owe much to the interest and support of Nicholas
Rescher, a friend of the undertaking from the time of its
inception. My review of the translations was helped immensely by
Andrea Purvis' careful copy editing of the typescript. Most of all,
however, we owe gratitude and admiration for the tireless efforts
on behalf of this enterprise to Jiirgen Mittelstrass."
