It took a veritable village to bring the Ricoeur–Castoriadis dialogue to publication. I would like to express my gratitude to Johann Arnason and George Taylor for their wise counsel through the many months of complex negotiations and concrete formulation of the project. I would like to thank the Castoriadis heirs and the Ricoeur literary executors, and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) Press for granting their permission for the English-language publication of the dialogue. I would also like to thank Johann Michel for his behind-the-scenes advocacy with the EHESS. The translators – Scott Davidson and Natalie Doyle – were beyond generous with their time and expertise; thank you very much! Additionally, I would like to acknowledge Scott’s translation of the Castoriadis and Ricoeur biographical notes and the note to the French edition, which have been incorporated into the English publication. George Sarantoulias and Erin Carlisle provided vital editorial assistance; thank you both! I would also like to thank the authors for their respective contributions, as well as for their comments on aspects of the project at various stages. It is an enduring delight to be part of the Social Imaginaries Collective, and I would like to thank Paul Blokker, Natalie Doyle, John Krummel, and Jeremy Smith for their support of the project. I would like to thank the Newgen team for their skilful production of the book. Finally, I would like to extend a big thank you to Sarah Campbell and her colleagues at Rowman & Littlefield International. Sarah has been tireless in her dedication to the book project (and ensuing book series), and her editorial advice and expertise have been invaluable.
