СКАЧАТЬ of creation is different from other versions that put the emphasis either on mimesis (the expression of things in a given form) or discovery (the recognition of something that is already there but not quite noticed) or even synthesis (the novel reutilization of known entities). For Castoriadis, creation, whether it produces the Parthenon or Auschwitz, is always embedded in a specific historical context. However, the boldness of his theory also hinges on his examination of the radical and mysterious form by which creation produces newness. Creation is therefore not just the product of its time, for it also comes out of a void and asserts itself as the new and necessary form for living. His favorite example was the eruption of democracy in ancient Athens.

      Returning from his archive in Paris, I found myself asking the question, is he a man or the emergency department of a revolutionary university? Castoriadis worked on so many fronts simultaneously, he was at home in five languages, he could switch between economic and mathematical models, and he didn’t simply apply philosophical or psychoanalytic theories. He was a genuine free radical!

      Nikos Papastergiadis (b. 1962) is Professor of Cultural Studies and Media & Communications at the University of Melbourne.

      Without the support and permission of the Castoriadis estate, this publication would not have been possible. The author would like to express special thanks to Zoé Castoriadis and Myrto Gondicas for their transcription and translation of these texts.
