This book collects 12 previously untranslated lectures by
Castoriadis from 1982 to 1983. 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.
Displaying both mastery of the relevant scholarship and original
interpretation, he reveals the birth of a society that would place
its highest value in calling itself and its institutions into
question. He argues that this spirit would develop directly into
the twin signatures of the Greek world, namely radical philosophy,
on the one hand, and radical democratic practices, on the other.
Like no previous interpreter, Castoriadis allows us to feel the
existential need, already present in the earliest Greek thinkers,
to question the significance of human existence and to share in
shaping its meaning. The Greeks not only did this, he argues, they
also began the equally important work of establishing the
institutions to support such a project.

To discuss the history of the franchise in Canada, Mr. Garner had
to go back well before Confederation because 1867 did not mark the
beginnings of a new franchise. Until 1885 the federal government
employed the provincial franchises at each federal election, and
the provinces in turn continued for some years the franchises that
had served their colonial predecessors. This then is the story of
the development of the franchise in each of those British colonies
which came to form the nucleus of the Dominion of Canada from the
establishment of their representative assemblies until they joined
Confederation.
