About this book
Reviews
“Memos’s book examines the life and work of a major twentieth-century critical thinker, Cornelius Castoriadis. … The book is well referenced and refreshingly concise, making it an excellent primer for college courses and accessible to a broader audience. … it is a fair and balanced assessment of the person and his thought, properly situated in the milieu that shaped his ideas. … the book succeeds in enticing readers to go delve further in Castoriadis’s writings.” (John Asimakopoulos, Anarchist Studies, Vol. 23 (2), 2017)Â
“Memos’ book, Castoriadis and Critical Theory: Crisis, Critique and Radical Alternatives, proves to be important and timely. … Memos’ book sets out to provide an in-depth discussion of the political thought of Cornelius Castoriadis, its historical context, his relation to contemporary Marxism, Marx’s work itself and the implications of Castoriadis’ writings for political action. Memos builds his argument based on a rich amount of minutely researched historical context, and an intimate knowledge of Castoriadis’ life and writings.” (Christian Huber and Vitor Hugo Klein Jr., ephemera, ephemerajournal.org, February, 2016)
