The Power to Assume Form: Cornelius Castoriadis and Regimes of Historicity

By Sean McMorrow

This book examines Cornelius Castoriadis's elucidation of the social imaginary within human societies, assessing how strict dichotomisation between autonomous and heteronomous modes of institution hinders further insights into the creative capacities of social imaginary, while also imposing limits on Castoriadis's own assessment of the 'partially' autonomous situation of modern societies.
