The Cornelius Castoriadis/Agora International (CC/AI) Website has been made possible with the sponsorship of the University of Michigan Libraries and Beau David Case, Field Librarian for Classical Studies, in conjunction with Agora International—a "loi 1901" association, registered in France, which is committed to furthering the project of autonomy in all its facets.
For those unfamiliar with him and his work, Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997), was a philosopher, political thinker, social critic, practicing psychoanalyst, renowned Sovietologist, and economist who cofounded the now legendary revolutionary journal and group Socialisme ou Barbarie (1948-1967). S. ou B. developed a radical critique of Communism based upon the idea of workers' management and exerted a great influence upon the student-worker rebellion in Paris in May 1968. Until his death a decade ago, Castoriadis continued to write on politics, society, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the imagination from his distinctive perspective that was inspired by the "project of autonomy."
A good introduction to his philosophical-political itinerary may be found (in English) in his General Introduction to the first volume of his Political and Social Writings (trans. David Ames Curtis [Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1988]) and in "Done and To Be Done," in the Castoriadis Reader (Cambridge, MA, and Oxford, England: Blackwell Publishers, 1997).
