Cornelius Castoriadis and the Politics of Autono... Cornelius Castoriadis <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Castoriadis> (1922 - 1997) was a landmark figure on the French political and intellectual left. This reviews his first biography and a number of other recent books about him and his political life. To his admirers Castoriadis was the major radical left thinker of the 20th century. This is long, but because the growing literature on Castoriadis concerns more than small academic circles I am posting it regardless. It will be also of wider interest in indicating how a part of the left, not exclusively French, has become interested in wider 'utopian' politics in the absence of any immediate obviously effective left-wing and labour movement. The post is in fact only an edited extract from a much longer study.
