Wyobrażeniowa instytucja społeczeństwa
Zrywa z marksistowskim determinizmem: każde społeczeństwo tworzy samo siebie przez wyobrażeniowe znaczenia, które nie są ani racjonalne, ani naturalne, a autonomia oznacza rozpoznanie i kwestionowanie własnej instytucji.
Wprowadzenie
“The Imaginary Institution of Society” appeared in 1975. Its first part, “Marxism and Revolutionary Theory”, had been published in “Socialisme ou Barbarie” in 1964–65; there Castoriadis concludes that Marxism, as a theory claiming to know the laws of history, has become an obstacle to the project of autonomy it once served. The second part, written for the book, develops his own ontology: society cannot be explained by function or by reason, but institutes itself through a “magma” of imaginary significations, gods, values, ideas of what is real, that give each society its world. The individual psyche rests on a radical imagination, which Castoriadis develops with and against Freud and Lacan. Autonomy means that a society knows itself as the author of its institutions and can call them into question. Habermas discussed the book in 1985; it is Castoriadis’s main work.
