Journal History
Poiésis is a term used by Cornelius Castoriadis - considered one of the great thinkers of modernity (1922-1997) - to refer to creation and what derives from it: the problem of the imagination, of the social - historical and the institutions. Human creation, as a social-historical creation, makes Castoriadis' thinking truly innovative. The ontological status of creation, not as simple production, reproduction or training that is inspired by a given model, occurs in the domain of social-historical, in the domain of man. Each individual and each society create a world of their own that is the source, according to Castoriadis, of social and individual meaning. Thus, the meaning is both social and singular. The emergence of the forms that confer the meaning are not the product of the sum of the fantasies of the individuals of a social collective, but the effect of a circular causality: The society manufactures the individuals that society produces in turn. For this to happen, society must create meanings and institutions that give meaning to the singular Psyche and allow the breaking of the original monadic closure. It is then a new conception of the relationship between psychism and society that necessarily postulates a radical difference between what emerges as a product of multiple interactions and what is truly new: poietic activity, a creative force that resides in the imagination.
