Clara Swan Kennedy interviews Alexandros Schismenos, author of Castoriadis Against Heidegger: Time and Existence, exploring one of the most important philosophical confrontations of the 20th century: Cornelius Castoriadis’ project of autonomy versus Martin Heidegger’s ontology of Being.
Schismenos discusses:
- Castoriadis’ critique of Heidegger’s concept of time
- The tension between radical imagination and fundamental ontology
- The political implications of Heidegger’s thought
- How Castoriadis redefines creation, society, and meaning
