Beschreibung

This book collects 12 previously untranslated lectures by Castoriadis from 1982 to 1983. Castoriadis focuses on the interconnection between philosophy and democracy and the way both emerge within a self-critical imaginary already in development in the work of early Greek poets and Presocratic philosophers.

Autor

Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997) was a Greek-French philosopher and author of a large corpus on the topics of ontology, politics, psychoanalysis, and several other fields. Immigrating to France after World War II, he co-founded the political group Socialisme ou Barbarie (1948-1967), worked in economics, practiced as a psychoanalyst, and eventually served from 1980-1995 as director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris.
