This discussion concentrates on the work of the fifth-century historian, Herodotus, where the idea of time as the fulfilment of a specific role in society takes on particular and interesting inflections. In Herodotus, as in Greek generally, time covers both the esteem that one receives from others and the claim to esteem that the individual him- or herself brings to bear in social interaction. Thus time is both "deference" and "demeanour"(to use Goflman's terminology). As a quality of an individual that commands others' respect, time also encompasses the roles that are bound up with one's status. Roles and offices express, attract, and demand time, but such demands are normally constrained by reciprocal respect for the time of others. The office of the Persian king, however, appears at first sight to involve unconditional claims to recognition respect, powerful drives towards appraisal respect (in DarwalPs terminology), and only limited acknowledgement of either ethical norms or others claims as potential limitations to regal self-assertion. Closer inspection, however, reveals that the values of mutual respect that underpin the freedom enjoyed by citizens of Greek poleis are also felt by Herodotus to ground claims to freedom and in dependence on the part of those poleis themselves, claims that the historian9s narrative suggests are ultimately upheld by the gods and embedded in the structure of the cosmos itself.展开更多

To commemorate this special occasion for the journal, the thematic editors met in Montreal at the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering and decided to compile a truly special issue. Instead of producing another ＂conventional＂ special issue of the more ＂regular＂ research papers on some given subjects, we have decided to take a more innovative format for this issue to present short discussion papers that provide quick overviews of the current status of selected subiects and then discuss forward thinking for the future.展开更多
