dc.description.abstractEn | In December 1945, a ship left Athens' harbor Piraeus with several intellectuals on board, including Cornelius Castoriadis, Kostas Axelos, and Kostas Papaioannou. The French Institute of Athens, an organization sponsored by the French Foreign Office and promoting the development of French language and culture abroad, helped those intellectuals to escape the chaotic political situation in Greece. A First Civil War in 1944 and 1945 had divided Greece between Communists who wanted to fight against German, Bulgarian, and Italian invaders and others who were afraid of a Communist regime. Then, from 1946 until 1949, a Second Civil War occurred in Greece, opposing the Communists to Monarchists helped by the British government.<br />We will here focus on three philosophers—Castoriadis, Axelos, and Papaioannou—who were left-oriented. Those three philosophers were engaged in the Greek Communist Party before or during World War Two and took part in the Greek Resistance. In this article we will examine what they brought to the postwar French intellectual sphere. | |
