Relying on Ren Girard's theory of mimetic desire and the dramatic
theology of Raymund Schwager, this monograph examines the fragility
and failure of the human rights system when faced with escalating
global violence. One of the author's central concerns is the human
condition that makes violence foundational to the social order. He
also argues that the human rights crisis is neither an accident nor
a shortfall in implementation but the result of subconscious,
collective structures of civilization itself. In the theological
key, the author relates the notion of imitative desire to data of
Christian hope enabling the reader to reflect on important
questions of human rights from a fresh perspective. This highly
topical and necessarily controversial work should appeal to a broad
readership. Social and political scientists, educators, contextual
theologians, as well as readers with a critical concern for the
future of human rights, and those who are searching for new
approaches to the problem of mounting violence, will find this
wide-ranging anthropological and theological investigation both
provocative and encouraging.
