The Toronto Public Library has just the copy of Crossroads in the Labyrinth at the Reference Library, which means it cannot be signed out.
The York University Library, on the other hand, has two copies of The Imaginary Institution of Society, though they are both currently checked out; one is due at the end of August, the other at the beginning of September. Go figure. I'm not sure how many holds are on it, so I have no idea how long it would take to get it. But I'm sure it's worth the wait. The University of Toronto has a few copies floating around at various locations as well.

What is it about Castoriadis that intrigues you so much? I'm compelled to read him based on that one excerpt and, of course, your enthusiasm, but perhaps I should get some context before delving into it. What is his lasting significance today? Why should one read him? Is Crossroads a better starting point than IIS?
