Sinossi
In ciascuno dei suoi libri Girard si sforza di stringere più da vicino l'essenziale. Negli oltre 20 anni passati da "La violenza e il sacro", l'essenziale è stato per lui un pensiero: il meccanismo del capro espiatorio. Pensiero che ha una prodigiosa capacità di espansione e investe tutti i piani della vita. Nelle sue opere più recenti, Girard ha cercato di mettere a fuoco tale meccanismo, nel tentativo costante di gettar luce su un punto cruciale: l'unicità della rivelazione cristiana, il perché del suo opporsi a tutte le precedenti. Sfida quanto mai ardua, che Girard accetta fino in fondo: "il carattere irriducibile della differenza giudeico-cristiana può essere dimostrato. E' tale dimostrazione che costituisce l'essenza di questo libro".

In our rational, scientific world, the coronavirus pandemic, while unprecedented, is well-understood. We know that the virus originated in China and, through the science of epidemiology, we were able to track its rapid spread. In response, (most) world governments moved swiftly to contain the virus
Review: November 2008 Girard, Christianity, and Nietzsche Since previous reviewers (here on Amazon) have already provided good reviews of Girard and this book I thought I might speak on a (perhaps) not minor point that has yet to be mentioned. It is little remarked, although it really should be noted m Leggi tutto
I am a total fan of Girard. Since his death, I try to read oll his book I did not read. The mimetic desire is a fantastic key for analyse the world. You can adapt it to social organization, international relation, even couple, it is really marvelous. Why this doubt after it. I was struck by the pessi Leggi tutto
“Dionysos is the same thing as Hades.” - Heraclitus Human beings are the only creatures who do not know, by instinct, what to desire. Our sentience endows us with an existential freedom that is both profound and precarious: a depth of longing that transcends the will to survival, but one without Leggi tutto
Not only one of the finest and most brilliant interpretations of the Gospel, but a remarkable Christian apologetic from the standpoint of cultural anthropology. It may well be the first book I would recommend to an intelligent atheist who bases his objections to religion off philosophy and psycholog Leggi tutto
René Girard is far from a typical “feel-good” Christian thinker. His work goes into some of the most profound and unsettling questions about human existence—particularly the nature of desire, the origins of conflict, and the role of violence and sacrifice in human culture. His insights reveal that p Leggi tutto
Folks have been telling me for years now that "It's all in Girard, man." Finally, I've gotten around to reading one of Girard's books, and whattya know...it's all in Girard, man. Of course, there are caveats to be made. In particular, Girard reads Scripture as an anthropologist. He undertakes to argu Leggi tutto
The recently deceased Rene Girard presents readers with an astonishing commentary on biblical narratives, especially the Passion. The central thrust of this book and much of Girard's thought revolves around mimetic desire - the yearning we have for what others possess, which is both good and bad (Gi Leggi tutto
