Moving tribute to one of the most important thinkers of our day,
By
This review is from: For René Girard: Essays in Friendship and in Truth (Studies in Violence, Mimesis, and Culture Series) (Paperback)
This book was a great idea. A bunch of people writing about one of the most important thinkers of our time. Many essays in this volume review mimetic theory in a friendly, non-academic style. That makes it a great introduction to the contributors, mimetic theory, and Girard. Even more compelling, for me, were some of the personal reflections on how this theory is more than just an intellectual exercise in anthropology, but how it can help guide one on an adventure in personal transformation and conversion. Excellent book.
Contributors include: Michel Serres Eric Gans Andrew McKenna Cesareo Bandera Jean-Michel Oughourlian Jean-Piere Dupuy Paul Dumouchel Sandor Goodhart Robert Daly William Johnsen Jozef Niewiadomski Jacques-Jude Lepine Sonja Pos Eugene Webb James Williams Robert Hammerton-Kelly Gil Bailie Wolfgang Palaver Richard Golsan Charles Mabee Anthony Bartlett Chris Allen Carter Martha Reineke Giuseppe Fornari Michael Hardin Tyler Graham For more on mimetic theory, check out ravenfoundation(dot)org. |
