There are a number of people I wish to acknowledge for helping me
write this book. First, the idea of politics as a nonequilibrium
process owes its origins largely to a series of ongoing
conservations I have had with Father Richard Telnack, o. c. s. o.
Our discussions of Augustine's city of God and Hegel's
Phenomenology in the hours before the night office led me to think
about the world more as an ongoing flux than as a static rational
order. The use of structurally unstable dynamical systems to. model
democratic politics was greatly enhanced by my interactions with
Professor Alex Kleiner, department of mathematics, Drake
University. Professor Manfred Holler of the University of Aarhus
provided a detailed critique of an earlier version. His insights
and remarks were invaluable in improving the work's content and
structure. I also wish to thank Dr. Werner A. Muller, director of
Physica Verlag for his confidence in my work and his efforts on my
behalf. Miss Jane Blevins was a patient and thorough typist. I
thank her for her attention to the production of the manuscript.
Finally, writing a book is in one way a moral act. It requires
committment to pursue a line of thought to its conclusion when the
final results are not clear. without the encouragement and support
of my wife over a long period of time, I would have certainly
faltered. Whatever good emerges from the work is due largely to her
example and patient endurance.
