Listen now | The Traveller in the Evening talks to Castoriadis scholar and activist, Stephen Hastings-King, about Blake and Castoriadis's radical concept of the imagination. How do they overlap?
It is a pleasure to witness your project of thinking Blake via Castoriadis, and of thinking Castoriadis via Blake, unfolding in real time across the podcast episodes. I’m convinced this is an important and timely intervention.
I recently discovered Castoriadis’ ideas about the imagination in Roberto Esposito’s book Institution. As a literary person rather than a philosopher, I was heartened to see someone was connecting Castoriadis’ ideas to the literary imagination. Given the obvious need to rethink our relationship to institutions today, I am excited to see what comes next here.
