Book Synopsis
A posthumous collection of interviews and occasional papers given by Castoriadis between 1974 and 1997 which offers a direct introduction to the thinking of a writer who never abandoned his radically critical stance. It also provides a resume of his political ideas, in advance of their times and profoundly relevant to today's world.

Trade Review
"A gateway to Castoriadis' adventurous and open-ended way of thinking, his tireless attempts to envision the imperceptible future." -- -Stathis Gourgouris Columbia University "All the material in A Society Adrift, a posthumous collection of lectures and writings by Castoriadis, appeared well after that upheaval. The earliest of the texts gathered here, a long interview from 1974, is an extensive political and intellectual autobiography covering the SOUB years and just beyond. It is followed by the transcript of a 1982 radio discussion that provides an excellent introduction to Castoriadis's subsequent philosophical and psychoanalytic work." -Bookforum
