French theorist Rene Girard was one of the major thinkers of the
twentieth century. Read by international leaders, quoted by the
French media, Girard influenced such writers as J.M. Coetzee and
Milan Kundera. Dubbed "the new Darwin of the human sciences" and
one of the most compelling thinkers of the age, Girard spent nearly
four decades at Stanford exploring what it means to be human and
making major contributions to philosophy, literary criticism,
psychology and theology with his mimetic theory. This is the first
collection of interviews with Girard, one that brings together
discussions on Cervantes, Dostoevsky, and Proust alongside the
causes of conflict and violence and the role of imitation in human
behavior. Granting important insights into Girard's life and
thought, these provocative and lively conversations underline
Girard's place as leading public intellectual and profound
theorist.
