The third and final volume in the series of political and social writings of Cornelius Castoriadis, whose thinking distinguishes the Marxist text from communism.

Castoriadis is pushed to address challenges raised by decolonial thought, by critiques of ethnocentrism, and broadly by the international context of radical critical thought.

The third and final volume in the series of political and social writings of Cornelius Castoriadis, whose thinking distinguishes the Marxist text from communism.

This book represents the first publication of one of the seminars (transcribed) of Cornelius Castoriadis, a renowned and influential figure in 20th-century thought. A close reading of Plato's Statesman is an exemplary instance of Castoriadis's discriminating approach to thinking about and reading a great work.

A posthumous collection of interviews and occasional papers given by Castoriadis between 1974 and 1997 which offers a direct introduction to the thinking of a writer who never abandoned his radically critical stance. It also provides a resume of his political ideas, in advance of their times and profoundly relevant to today's world.

Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997) was a philosopher, social critic, political activist, practicing psychoanalyst and professional economist. This collection of interviews discusses some of his most important ideas with leading figures in the disciplines that play such a crucial part in his philosophical work: poetry, psychoanalysis, and biology.

A collection of articles, lectures, and interviews whose apparent variety, touching on social criticism, psychoanalysis, philosophy, poetry and science, among others, is actually strongly focused on one main idea: that of autonomous, creative action at the individual and collective levels.
