He and Claude Lefort constituted a Chaulieu\u2013Montal Tendency in the French PCI in 1946. In 1948, they experienced their &#8220;final disenchantment with Trotskyism&#8221;, leading them to break away to found the libertarian socialist and councilist group and journal Socialisme ou Barbarie (S. ou B., 1949\u20131966), which included Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lyotard and Guy Debord as members for a while, and profoundly influenced the French intellectual left. Castoriadis had links with the group known as the Johnson\u2013Forest Tendency until 1958.

According to Castoriadis, the central claim of the Stalinist regime at the time was that the mode of production in Russia was socialist, but the mode of distribution was not yet a socialist one since the socialist edification in the country had not yet been completed. However, according to Castoriadis&#8217; analysis, since the mode of distribution of the social product is inseparable from the mode of production, the claim that one can have control over distribution while not having control over production is meaningless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1963<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>In the latter years of Socialisme ou Barbarie, Castoriadis came to reject the Marxist theories of economics and of history, especially in an essay on &#8220;Modern Capitalism and Revolution&#8221;, first published in Socialisme ou Barbarie in 1960\u201361 (first English translation in 1963 by Solidarity). Castoriadis&#8217; final Socialisme ou Barbarie essay was &#8220;Marxism and Revolutionary Theory&#8221;, published in April 1964 \u2013 June 1965.

Creating external social institutions that give stable form to what Castoriadis terms the (ontological) &#8220;magma of social significations&#8221; allows the psyche to create stable figures for the self, and to ignore the constant emergence of mental indeterminacy and alterity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1980<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>In his 1980 Facing the War text, he took the view that Russia had become the primary world military power. To sustain this, in the context of the visible economic inferiority of the Soviet Union in the civilian sector, he proposed that the society may no longer be dominated by the one-party state bureaucracy but by a &#8220;stratocracy&#8221;\u2014a separate and dominant military sector with expansionist designs on the world. He further argued that this meant there was no internal class dynamic which could lead to social revolution within Russian society and that change could only occur through foreign intervention.<\/p>\n<p>In 1980, he joined the faculty of the \u00c9cole des Hautes \u00c9tudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) as Directeur d&#8217;\u00e9tudes (Director of Studies). He had been elected Directeur de recherche (Director of Research) in EHESS at the end of 1979 after submitting his previously published material in conjunction with a defense of his intellectual project of connecting the disciplines of history, sociology and economy through the concept of the social imaginary (see below). His teaching career at the EHESS lasted sixteen years.<\/p>\n<p>In 1980, he was also awarded his State doctorate from the University of Nanterre; the final title of his thesis under Ric\u0153ur (see above) was L&#8217;\u00c9l\u00e9ment imaginaire de l&#8217;histoire (The Imaginary Element in History).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1989<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>In 1989, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences by Panteion University and in 1993 another one in Education Sciences by the Democritus University of Thrace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1992<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>In 1992, he joined the libertarian socialist journal Society and Nature (established by Takis Fotopoulos) as a writer; the magazine also featured such writers as Murray Bookchin and Noam Chomsky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1997<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>He died on 26 December 1997 from complications following heart surgery.
