Additional information

I wish to thank my student and young teaching colleague, Ms. Susan Neiman for her very helpful and stimulating discussions. Not only has she gone over the manuscript of this paper to prevent at least the worst stylistic blunders in my English, but she also helped me with her critical philosophic objections and questions in several places to correct my thinking. Needless to say, she bears no responsibility for anything objectionable that still may be found in the article. I also want to thank a critical but sympathetic referee of this journal. Reacting to his excellent questions and remarks has, I hope, helped me to make some important points more explicit and clear, and to eliminate sources of potential misunderstanding.
