  • Summary

    Few historians would associate Nicole Loraux with the great Marxist historians who wrote on classical antiquity. Nevertheless, Loraux implicitly presented herself as such, when, in 1981 and, again, in 1993, she made ideology and the imaginary central notions in her work on the funeral oration. This chapter investigates the complex uses of these two ‘re-invented’ notions in The Invention of Athens. In particular, it situates the career of Nicole Loraux within her rich intellectual milieu and teases out how she broke from it. This encompassed Classical Studies because The Invention of Athens, by moving the object of study to the imaginary, was clearly responding to some Marxist readings of antiquity, such as those of Moses Finley and the Italian School. But this milieu also included the French intellectual scene because Loraux, in fact, was always engaged in a dialogue with philosophers and anthropologists, such as Louis Althusser, Claude Lefort, Cornelius Castoriadis and Pierre Clastres.

  • Jean-Marc Ferry objectait à Cornelius Castoriadis que sa philosophie repose sur une décision ontologique arbitraire transgressant les limites de la critique kantienne de la raison. Dans cet article, je réponds à cette objection en commentant l'opération méthodologique sur laquelle repose l'ontologie de Castoriadis : l’élucidation. Je montre qu'elle ne dépasse pas les limites prescrites par la finitude kantienne et qu'elle lui permet de justifier ses concepts ontologiques. J'explique ensuite dans quelle mesure on peut qualifier la méthode de Castoriadis de « constructivisme enraciné » et quel est son apport pour les théories philosophiques constructivistes.
