Abstract

The present text elucidates education as a force of social self-creation on the basis of the powerful and suggestive philosophical contribution of the Greek-French thinker Cornelius Castoriadis. The aim is to use some ideas and intuitions of the author of The Imaginary Institution of Society as a platform to clarify some crucial issues and problems of higher education in today's society. It uses Castoriadis' philosophy in a creative way to rethink our higher education institutions in the face of the crisis of the neo-liberal business model.
