商品簡介
Klooger (PhD, sociology/philosophy, La Trobe U., Australia) conducts an explication and friendly critique of the main ideas of Greek philosopher and psychoanalyst Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997). Among the key conceptual topics addressed are the idea of society as a form of self-creation, the distinction between autonomy and heteronomy if both are forms of social-historical self-creation, the concepts of the "imaginary" and of "social imaginary significations," the nature of the self and its relations with the world, the ontological implications of the notion of the self-creation of the human psyche, and how to reconcile the postulate of fundamental ontological indeterminancy with the reality of autonomous determination of the human psyche and the social-historical.
