| Sumario: | César Marchesino's book explores the philosophical and political thought of Cornelius Castoriadis, focusing on his concepts of subjectivity, imagination, and autonomy. Castoriadis is depicted as a thinker who continually withdrew from prevailing ideologies, such as Marxism and liberalism, in his quest to understand the individual's role in society. The book delves into Castoriadis's idea of 'ontological magma,' which suggests a lack of inherent order in reality, thus highlighting the creative potential of human imagination. Marchesino emphasizes the interplay between autonomy and the chaotic substrate of existence, inviting readers to consider the continuous creation of social institutions and human experience. This work is intended for scholars and students of philosophy and political theory, offering an in-depth analysis of Castoriadis's influential but often marginalized ideas.
