CONCEPTION OF CULTURE IN THE RENÉ GIRARD’S THEORY – THINGS AND VALUES IN THE HIDDEN CONTEXT (CHOSES CACHÉES)

Summary/Abstract: The present article is a modest contribution to the reconstruction and systematization of a rich and seminal conception of René Girard. The letter belongs to a group of the most infl uential philosophers of culture of the XX and XXI century whose theories attempt at explaining the origins of this unifl ue and diverse phenomen: culture Girard produces a coherent although a controversial theory of basic, fundament motives of human behavior (e.g. jalousie and strike For excellence and emulation) which set in motion a series of symbolic reactions leading to the emergence of organized society and fi nally social behavior. Those reactions were mainly responsible for the cultural development and progress.
