In December 2017, 20 years have passed since the death of Cornelius Castoriadis (26.12.1997). The book by journalist Teta Papadopoulou familiarizes the reader with the multifaceted and fascinating thought of the Greek thinker: his fundamental philosophical ideas, his perception of Democracy, and his views on the crisis of modern Western societies.

Among his other significant opinions, he notably emphasizes: "The Greek people – like every people – are responsible for their history; therefore, they are also responsible for the state in which they find themselves today." The book consists of three parts – Direct Speech, Own Speech, Other's Speech – and concludes with an Epilogue.

The first part includes two major interviews with Cornelius Castoriadis. The second consists of five texts, interventions, and speeches by him. In the third part, notable figures such as Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Adam Michnik, Edgar Morin, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Aki Orr, Octavio Paz, Lakis Progidis, Gerasimos Stefanatos, and Joel Whitebook write about Cornelius Castoriadis, while in the Epilogue, another interview is presented that focuses exclusively on the modern Greek case.
