René Girard's Mimetic Theory by Wolfgang Palaver
An Introduction
A concise and accessible introduction to mimetic theory, explaining how imitative desire fuels rivalry and violence and how societies contain conflict through scapegoating. It traces the theory’s development across anthropology, literature, religion, and philosophy, addresses major criticisms and common misunderstandings, and clarifies key concepts. It also highlights the demythologizing role of biblical revelation and outlines applications to contemporary politics, economics, and ethics.
