Description
A Society Adrift: Interviews and Debates 1974-1997
This collection of interviews and occasional papers offers a direct introduction to the thinking of Cornelius Castoriadis, a writer who never abandoned his critical stance. It provides a clear overview of his political ideas, which remain profoundly relevant today.
Castoriadis's work is characterized by two interconnected interrogations: understanding the world and life in society. He explores these questions through his own life and combats, discussing topics such as the history of "Socialisme ou Barbarie", the concept of "imaginary significations" that underpin societal coherence, and the nature of democracy.
