Some ultra-left friends don't read past the 'Socialisme ou Barbarie' texts, concerned that CC's radical edge was dulled. I don't agree. His writing remained radical, and always clear when discussing politics and democratic theory. But even the philosophical texts ... with section headings like Koinonia, Logos, Poeisis, Polis, Psyche--well a reader must be curious. Caution: like Adorno can get technical about music, Castoriadis may do that with mathematics, though don't know if CC's math skills compared with Adorno's music.... <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/96604?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
