Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Rene Girard's work is both a rationally articulated study and a prophetic vision of the hidden origins of culture and the nature of cultural processes. In its enormous, breathtaking scope it suggests the projects of those nineteenth-century intellectual giants (Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud) who still cast such long shadows today. By contrast, contemporary criticism seems paltry and faint-hearted." Comparative Literature "...a highly readable talent for analysing and deconstructing myth...original and provocative." Frederic Raphael, Sunday Times "One of the most striking theories of human culture ever presented" Christianity and Literature

Reseña del editor:

Develops a global theory of culture through the paradox of violence and exclusion serving a social function.
