Constructing Non-monetary Social Indicators
Euripides: Cyclops
Satyric is the most thinly attested genre of Greek drama, but it appears to have been the oldest and, according to Aristotle, formative for tragedy. By the 5th century BC at Athens, it shared most of its compositional elements with tragedy, to which it became an adjunct; for at the annual great dramatic festivals, it was performed only together with, and after, the three tragedies which each poet was required to present in competition. It was in …
Sophistic Ethics, Old Atheism, and "Critias" on Religion
The famous dramatic fragment (TrGF 43 F 19), often ascribed to Critias, positing the existence of the gods as a fiction, has been widely considered a cynical, dangerous denunciation of religion per se. But the fragment's enumeration of the benefits of religion in eradicating injustice, violence, and lawlessness suggests that belief in the gods can be seen pragmatically in more positive terms. Seen more fully in its intellectual context, the piece…
The `collapse' of civilizations
Solutions to environmental problems experienced by human societies proposed by `palaeo' scientists are often deterministic, and therefore philosophically unacceptable to most social scientists, discouraging links between the biophysical and the social sciences. One social science which may offer the greatest scope for interdisciplinary cooperation is anthropology, which provides a set of rules by which non-social scientists can understand the gen…
Aeschylus, Euripides, and Tragic Painting
Aeschylus' famous simile comparing Iphigeneia to a painting just before her sacrifice ( Ag . 239–42) rests not just on the girl's silence and unbroken gaze at her killers but also on the strikingly pitiable nature of her expression. The Euripidean Hecuba's plea to Agamemnon to pity her by gazing on her "like a painter" ( Hec . 807–8) develops this idea and comprises a parallel to aspects of ancient literary criticism that prescribe an emotive ide…

Environmental impact assessment and the decommissioning of nuclear power plants—a review and suggestion for a best practicable approach
Harmonising environmental impact assessment processes for geological repositories for nuclear waste in the European Union
A recent study, carried out for Directorate General for the Environment of the European Commission, investigated the scope and application of environmental impact assessment (EIA) legislation and current EIA practice in Member States (15) and applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe (10), specifically in relation to the geological disposal of radioactive waste. Legal provisions were assessed against the requirements of the European Union…
Satyr and image in Aeschylus' Theoroi
The enduring fame of Aeschylus as the earliest of the ‘three great tragedians’ has made him in effect the first dramatist of the Western tradition, in chronological terms at least. At the same time it is worth noting that among the ancients he also enjoyed a reputation as a master of the satyr play, as Pausanias (2.13.6–7) and Diogenes Laertius (2.133) tell us. It is to this kind of drama, which comprised one-quarter of his output as tragedian, t…

Transport Policy
Following a statement of current political issues in transport at local, national and international levels, existing theory relating location and movement to transport facilities is outlined. The connections between social and economic change and improved mobility are explored and historical examples discussed, including the 19th century extensions of settlement frontiers and 20th century urbanization. Political issues are translated into practic…

On the Equivalence of Consumer Surplus and Von Thunian Rent
The surplus value arising from the use of transport facHiities is the most pertinent measure of social welfare for many spatial economic problems. Its equivalence to the fundamental variable of location theory, rent, is demonstrated. This is done in the most general context using TIicks' construction which involves no restrictive assumption on the value of money. The equality is also shown to hold for the special case of constant marginal utility…
Accessibility and the spatial structure of the Irish economy
O'Sullivan P. M. (1968) Accessibility and the spatial structure of the Irish economy, Reg. Studies 2, 195–206. A graph theory measure of relative accessibility on a transport network is used to investigate the hypothesis that there is some functional relationship between the spatial structure of transport networks and the geographical structure of the economy of the Republic of Ireland. Relationships are sought between various measures of intensi…

Regions of a Transport Network∗
The movements of people between various origins and destinations in an urban road network are sensitive to changes in the network which increases the capacities of certain links. The effects of improvements in some links are not transmitted equally to all portions of the network. The road network may be partitioned into regions to test the extent to which the fields of network effects extend into other regions. Though not entirely impermeable, th…

Geographical Economics
Is the unrestricted operation of the market economy compatible with the best interests of all society?If not, what are the economic and political implications?With these basic questions in mind, Professor O'Sullivan provides a lucid introduction to geographical economics.Devoting separate chapters to the theory oflocation, agglomeration economics, travel, trade and transport facilities, he builds up an eqUilibrium model of the geographical econom…
