Chapter 9 narrates the life of Andrea Papadopoulo Vretto (1800–76), through his autobiographical manuscript. By illuminating the activities of this itinerant and adventurous man—in Naples, the Ionian Islands, Nafplio, St Petersburg, Venice, and Varna—the chapter offers a contribution to a number of issues in intellectual history, such as the creation of Albanian nationalism in the diasporic centres of southern Italy, the rise of interest in archaeology in the British Mediterranean, as well as the emergence of the modern Greek bibliographic tradition. It also provides insight into the consolidated links between Greece and Russia throughout the 1830s and illustrates the way Orthodox ecumenism was reshaped within the Greek kingdom.

Chapter 10 provides insight into Andrea Mustoxidi’s biography (1785–1860), focusing in particular on the way this largely forgotten Corfiot, who was famous in his own lifetime, inserted himself into the Italian and European intellectual scene with works on philology and history inspired by Neoclassicism and philhellenism. It also unearths the unknown adventure of this man’s involvement in Russian diplomacy and the 1821 revolution in Piedmont, as well as his subsequent transformation from a Russian diplomat into a Greek minister (the first ‘Ephor’ for culture and education in Greece) and into a liberal politician on the British Ionian Islands. By so doing, the chapter also studies the educational programme of Kapodistrias’s government, as well as the adventure of liberal politics in the British Mediterranean Empire.

Abstract This article argues for an unconventional interpretation of Arthur O. Lovejoy’s distinctive approach to method in the history of ideas. It is maintained that the value of the central concept of the ‘unit-idea’ has been misunderstood by friends and foes alike. The commonality of unit-ideas at different times and places is often defined in terms of familial resemblance. But such an approach must necessarily define unit-ideas as being something other than the smallest conceptual unit. It is therefore in tension with Lovejoy’s methodological prescription and, more importantly, disregards a potentially important aspect of intellectual history – the smaller conceptual units themselves. In response to this, an alternative interpretation of unit-ideas as ‘elemental’ – as the smallest identifiable conceptual components – is put forward. Unlike the familial resemblance approach, the elemental approach can provide a plausible explanation for changes in ideas. These are construed as being either the creation of new unit-ideas, the disappearance of existing ones, or alterations in the groups of unit-ideas that compose idea-complexes. The focus on the movement of unit-ideas and idea-complexes through history can also be sensitive to contextual issues, carefully distinguishing the different meanings that single words may have, in much the way that both Lovejoy and his influential critic Quentin Skinner suggest.

This chapter covers the phenomenon of piyut, which is one of the comprehensive designations of Jewish liturgical poetry and an archaeology of rabbinic tradition. The piyut's major classical and early post-classical creativity spans the fifth to eleventh centuries that originated in the Land of Israel and spread east and west. It mentions the work of Michel Foucault, ‘L'Archéologie du savoir’ and its methodological reflections on the complex relationships between the ‘things said’ in culture and the way their selection or re-combination organizes knowledge from a vast fund of data or the so-called cultural archive. The chapter uses Foucault's insights to clear some paths of approach to piyut. It also focuses on some of the ruptures and transformations of biblical and midrashic literature in the creation of liturgical epics in classical and early medieval piyut.

This paper discusses the way social networks in and outside of church can facilitate a faith crossroad through the creation of cognitive dissonance and alternative lifestyles. This paper argues that the decision that one makes at the faith crossroad will impact upon the different processes of influence upon faith identified by Herbert Kelman: compliance, identification, and internalization. Drawing on Kelman’s theory provides insight into the transition that occurs from inherited faith to owned faith within a church context. This paper is based upon religious life story interviews conducted with young adults.

The attention sustainability and its impact of social status in the class are current issues concerning the field of education are the reasons for delay in assimilating the learning material and early school dropout. Behind both of those problems stand psychological causes such as low attention sustainability, poor communication skills and lack of positive environment. The presented article aims to prove that sustainability of attention directly influences the social status of students in the class, and hence their overall development and the way they feel in the group. Making efforts to increase students’ attention sustainability could lead to an increase in the social status of the student and hence the creation of a favorable and positive environment for the overall development of the individual.

The use of the “quipu” for accounting purposes has been primarily attributed to the Peruvian Inca culture in the days of old. Documented evidence, however, provides that early Hawaiians and ancient Chinese predated the Incan usage. Studies concentrating on the quipu as an accounting device rather than as an element in the evolution of the writing process might provide valuable contributions to the solution of the mystery surrounding this artifact. Insight into the development of mankind in the Pacific may be gained by understanding the use of the quipu in the East and West, and in Hawaii—the “meeting place” of the Pacific.
