Cornelius Castoriadis was one of the most significant and innovative thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century.
A philosopher of radical imagination, co-founder of the legendary magazine "Socialisme ou Barbarie" (Socialism or Barbarism), a psychoanalyst who renewed Freudian theory, a political thinker of remarkable depth who inspired workers and students during the events of May 1968 in France, a prominent economist of the OECD, a recognized classicist, an advocate of a libertarian Left, and a proponent of the idea of autonomy.
Nevertheless, Cornelius Castoriadis does not fit into any of the philosophical currents of the twentieth century.
This book is the first complete and systematic monograph in Greece covering the entirety of Cornelius Castoriadis's work.
It can also be used as a manual, where each chapter functions independently but is also organically integrated into the whole, composing a fascinating mosaic of the philosopher's thought.
It fully responds to the Castoriadian position: "One does not honor a thinker by praising or interpreting their work, but by discussing it, thus keeping it alive and demonstrating in practice that it defies time and maintains its value."
