Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) for the research project on “Social Dimensions of Privacy” (360-20-240), which provided us with the opportunity to conceive and realize the present volume. We are also very grateful for the support of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS) and the Royal Netherlands Academy for Arts and Sciences (KNAW) for hosting the workshop that brought together many of the contributors to this volume prior to its publication in Wassenaar in January 2014. And we thank the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam for additional funding for this workshop. We also want to thank a number of colleagues at the University of Amsterdam: the members of the Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research and the participants of the Philosophy and Public Affairs Colloquium at the Department of Philosophy. We have benefited enormously from their advice and feedback and we are very grateful for their fruitful collaboration and for their support. Our very greatest debt of gratitude is, of course, to the authors: for their immensely stimulating contributions, their enthusiasm and their willingness to engage with each other’s ideas, which made this volume possible. Kim Hughes, our editor at Cambridge University Press, has been extremely supportive and patient throughout and we are very grateful to her. Finally, we would like to express our warm thanks to Marijn Sax and Marjolein Lanzing for their editorial assistance.
