Thinking with and beyond Castoriadis: Conversation with Peter Wagner

Abstract This conversation between Peter Wagner and members of the Social Imaginaries Collective addresses two aspects of Wagner’s project. First, it enquires into the significance of Cornelius Castoriadis’s project for Wagner’s social theory and historical sociology. Second, the conversation turns to Wagner’s reflections on the ongoing significance of Castoriadis’s thought to the pressing political questions of our times, including the ecological crisis and post-communist societies.
