Castoriadis focuses on the interconnection between philosophy and democracy and the way both emerge within a self-critical imaginary already in development in the work of early Greek poets and Presocratic philosophers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Castoriadis' insightful and provocative analysis of ancient Greek poetry, history, mythology, and philosophy seeks to elucidate the creation of the two main social imaginary significations\": democracy and philosophy as inseparable yet mutually presupposing each other.
