Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines Cornelius Castoriadis’ philosophical view on a theory of democracy. The French thinker offers an original and, well, controversial definition of democracy, obviously divergent from its common understanding. His writings allow for an interpretation of democracy as not just a way of a government or a form of social organization but first of all as a form of consciousness or (generally) a state of mind.
