Cornelius Castoriadis

    March 11, 1922 – December 26, 1997

    Cornelius Castoriadis was a Greek philosopher and social critic whose work is characterized by its extraordinary breadth and continuity. He engaged with diverse fields ranging from mathematics and physics to psychoanalysis and politics. A key contribution is his idea that social change emerges through the 'social imaginary' as a radical discontinuity that must be institutionally established to gain recognition. Castoriadis often redefined traditional terms, inviting readers to a deeper understanding of his specific conceptual framework. His writings have significantly influenced European thought and continue to generate interest among scholars and the public.
