Castoriadis and Autonomy in the Twenty-first Century

Autor Alexandros Schismenos, Nikos Ioannou, Chris Spannos
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 ian 2021
To what degree can the philosophy of Cornelius Castoriadis help analyze and evaluate our current social reality in relation to the project of autonomy? How meaningful is his political proposition for direct democracy in the 21st century? What significance do the concepts of social time and social space have in the determination of political freedom?Castoriadis and Autonomy in the 21st Century presents basic concepts of Castoriadian philosophy, including the social-historical plane, ontological creativity, and social and individual time that provide the theoretical tools to evaluate the historical phenomena of our era. Drawing from Greece's own turbulent past and the current global crisis to reveal new significances of social freedom, global solidarity and movements of direct democracy, this book explores social autonomy and human freedom today through critical dialogue with Castoriadis' ideas.

Recenzii

Cornelius Castoriadis was one of the most original critical thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century. This book is an ambitious and intriguing attempt to understand the current global constellation through Castoriadis's political philosophy of autonomy - a rich and thought-provoking reading.
This is a vigorous and thought-provoking book, exploring original ways of linking Castoriadis´s work to the politics of the early twenty-first century.
A brilliant and lively engagement with one of the great social theorists of the twentieth century. Even today, Castoriadis' groundbreaking reflections on autonomy still point towards unexpected pathways out of a global crisis. In this decisive moment, Schismenos, Spannos and Ioannou cogently demonstrate why his work remains more relevant than ever.
