Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World by Rene Girard
This is the single fullest summation of the ideas of one of the most eminent and controversial cultural theorists of our time.
A necessary companion piece to Violence and the Sacred for those interested in Girard's grand theory of society and human nature.. Girard expounds his vision of the foundational place of mimesis, violence, and scapegoating for all human cultures... More forcefully stated here than elsewhere is Girard's conviction that his thesis is merely an uncovering of the message heretofore buried in the Christian scriptures. -- Virginia Quarterly Review
