The philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis with Dimitris Eleas




Cornelius Castoriadis is a leading figure of the 20th century thought.

For Castoriadis imagination brings all the people together. Castoriadis loved ideas and he said to Dimitris in their meeting “when a new idea comes to my mind I feel a big surprise!” A Critical spirit in modern day France. He was thinking ‘the Man, not the Humanity’, because we must place our trust upon ‘the Man, not the Humanity.’

He spoke to Castoriadis about his first novel Eccentric Notes (2004). He inspired him the book Private Cornelius (2009).
