Internationally renowned as the leading philosopher of autonomy, Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997) left a remarkable intellectual legacy. Co-founder of the Socialisme ou Barbarie group and author of the now classic philosophical work ‘The Imaginary Institution of Society’, Castoriadis’ contributions to social philosophy, political theory, political economy and psychanalysis remain a source of inspiration for both academics, political activists and social movements.
Commemorating 100 years since Castoriadis’ birth, the Centre of Analysis for Social Policy organizes a one-day (hybrid) conference on Friday, 23 September 2022. We will be joined by academic scholars, writers and activists from the UK and abroad to critically appraise Castoriadis work on autonomy and social institutions and explore new directions of research that engage with his philosophical concepts and socio-political analysis.
The conference will take place on Friday, 23/09/2022 (10:15-17:15) in Room: 3E 3.5, University of Bath
There is no registration fee.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided free of charge to the participants during the day of the conference. Unfortunately, we cannot cover any accommodation or travel expenses.
The final programme is available here.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Bath!
