Origin and Formative Years

Maria Georgiadou

Chapter Chapter 1 in Constantin Carathéodory, 2004, pp 1-43 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Constantin Carathéodory was a cosmopolitan of Greek origin, whose intellectual profile was moulded at the cross roads of European and Oriental culture. On his mother’s side he stemmed from the Greek bourgeois culture of the Diaspora, which originated in the modern Greek settlements1 (παϱοιℵίεζ) and then spread, in the 18th and early 19th centuries to important trade centres of the Ottoman Empire around the Mediterranean and also to European capitals, especially Vienna and Paris.
