The Greek Imaginary: From Homer to Heraclitus, Seminars 1982-1983 Ed 148

Cornelius Castoriadis, "The Greek Imaginary: From Homer to Heraclitus, Seminars 1982-1983 Ed 148"
English | ISBN: 1474475329 | 2023 | 336 pages | PDF | 1237 KB

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.
Displaying both mastery of the relevant scholarship and original interpretation, he reveals the birth of a society that would place its highest value in calling itself and its institutions into question. He argues that this spirit would develop directly into the twin signatures of the Greek world, namely radical philosophy, on the one hand, and radical democratic practices, on the other.
