Evolution and Conversion explores the main tenets of Rene Girard's
thought in a series of dialogues. Here, Girard reflects on the
evolution of his thought and offers striking new insights on topics
such as violence, religion, desire and literature. His long
argument is a historical one in which the origin of culture and
religion is reunited in the contemporary world by means of a
reinterpretation of Christianity and an understanding of the
intrinsically violent nature of human beings. He also offers
provocative re-readings of Biblical and literary texts and responds
to statements by Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Including an
introduction by the authors, this is a revealing text by one of the
most original thinkers of our time.
