Description
René Girard presents a groundbreaking global theory of culture in Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World, a work that challenges conventional views of literature, anthropology, philosophy, and psychoanalysis.
Girard's theory explores the function of violence, mimetic desire, and the mechanism of the scapegoat in the history of society and religion, offering a brilliant and devastating critique of established perspectives.
This book is a significant contribution to the fields of philosophy, metaphysics, social science, anthropology, and cultural studies, making it a valuable resource for scholars and researchers.
