Tükröm, tükröm, mondd meg nékem! René Girard mimetikus vágyelmélete
Mirror, Mirror, Tell Me! René Girard’s Theory of Mimetic Desire

Summary/Abstract: René Girard (1923–2015) was a historian, philosopher, social scientist, literary critic, religious scholar, cultural analyst, and a thinker in the fields of anthropology and theology. He was also a provocateur, an intuitive philosopher, and someone with a keen insight into the essence of things. He could be described with numerous other labels depending on how one views the French scholar’s body of work. Girard, one of the most distinctive theorists of the second half of the 20th century, enjoyed growing recognition worldwide due to his unique perspectives on the entirety of human civilization, including both its history and contemporary aspects. His name is associated with several controversial concepts that, when considered together, form a comprehensive theory about human evolution and nature, the development of religion and culture, and interpretations of biblical texts.
