Definition of semi-simple Lie algebras in Chevalley and Eilenberg's thesis

25 Views Asked by At

I am reading Chevalley and Eilenberg's "Cohomology Theory of Lie Groups and Lie Algebras" and I get some confusion. In page 106 the authors write

If every represention of $L$ if fully reducible then $L$ is called semi-simple

I think the property holds only for finite dimensional representions. I wonder where I misunderstood. Thanks!
