Hi, thank you for this essay. Castoriadis is a writer I’ve never engaged with and the idea of the ‘social imaginary’ is eye openning. May I suggest you check out Robert C. Neville ‘s ‘Reconstruction of Thinking’. It is an axiological theory which parses thinking into 4 aspects: Imagination, Interpretation, Theory, Responsibility . The first volume presents his axiological theory and the Imagination. I find the grounding of thinking in the imagination in Neville’s work rivetting and there is much in common with your presentation of Castoriades.
