Sobre IBD

This collection of twenty-three essays brings into one volume two years of studying, researching, and writing on René Girard’s mimetic theory. The author applies the theory to popular questions to reveal the hidden but fundamental role of mimesis in our lives and to give the reader new and empowering perspectives. The aim is to reproduce the catharsis that Girard’s own work provided to so many of his readers: expulsion of the ignorance of imitation in our desires, origins, and culture. Girard’s rigorous theories are brought to bear upon current and popular topics in the spirit of affirming and building upon his legacy. Each essay was written to stand alone and be accessible even to readers with minimal familiarity with Girard’s work. Yet, each ventures unique analyses and many offer original takes on new questions. The essays were originally posted online in a series, receiving an enthusiastic reception. Here, they are presented after being extensively edited, expanded, substantiated, and organized into a coherent whole consisting of five parts: philosophy, history, sociology, politics, and psychology.
