The authors would like to emphasise that this book has been developed - created - as a real
teamwork. Although the chapters (and in some cases parts of the chapters) were originally
written by one of the two authors  all of them were discussed thoroughly and in detail and have
been revised and complemented afterwards. Even if both authors were in agreement on most of the
foundational issues discussed in the book  they did not feel it necessary to balance every
viewpoint. Thus some individual and personal di?erence or emphasis will still be recognisable
from the chapters written by the di?erent authors. In this sense the authors feel speci?cally
responsible for the chapters as follows: Mittelstaedt for Chaps. 4  9. 3  10  11. 2  12  13 and
Weingartner for Chaps. 1  2  3  5  7  8. 2  9. 2  9. 4. The remaining parts are joint sections.
Most of the chapters are formulated as questions and they begin with arguments pro and contra.
Then a detailed answer is proposed which contains a systematic discussion of the question. This
is the respective main part of the chapter. It sometimes begins with a survey of the problem by
giving some important answers to it from history (cf. Chaps. 6 and 9).
