International Conference: “Cornelius Castoriadis (1997-2027) : Thirty Years Later”
Trie-sur-Baïse (Hautes-Pyrénées, 65, France) October 27, 28 & 29, 2027
In 2027, we will mark thirty years since the passing of Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997), a singular thinker whose multifaceted work continues to shape contemporary intellectual thought. Philosopher, economist, psychoanalyst, political theorist, and activist, he developed a powerful and original reflection on freedom, creation, the institution of society, and both individual and collective autonomy. From his younger days in Greece, through Socialisme ou
Barbarie, to his passing, his intellectual journey crossed and challenged disciplinary and ideological boundaries. This international conference aims to reexamine, three decades after his death, both the intellectual legacy of the Greek philosopher and the relevance of his conceptual tools for thinking about today’s society. In the face of the challenges of our time, Castoriadis’ thought offers valuable resources to question the very foundations of our societies, political action, and philosophical inquiry.
