Description
René Girard was a provocative thinker who challenged conventional wisdom to offer a bold vision of human nature and history. His work, known as mimetic theory, has inspired writers such as Milan Kundera and J.M. Coetzee. This first-ever biographical study provides an essential introduction to one of the 20th century's most original minds. Cynthia L. Haven traces Girard's thought in parallel with his life and times, revealing insights into collective delusions of our technological world and changing nature of warfare. Drawing on interviews with Girard and his colleagues, this book offers a fresh perspective on a thinker who has been overlooked within academic specializations.
