Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World presents a highly original global theory of culture. Here, in his greatest work, Rene Girard explores the function of violence, mimetic desire and the mechanism of the scapegoat, in the history of society and religion. Girard's vision is a brilliant and devastating challenge to conventional views of literature, anthropology, philosophy and psychoanalysis.
An astonishing work of cultural criticism, this book is widely
recognized as a brilliant and devastating challenge to conventional
views of literature, anthropology, religion, and psychoanalysis. In
its scope and itnerest it can be compared with Freud's "Totem and
Taboo," the subtext Girard refutes with polemic daring, vast
erudition, and a persuasiveness that leaves the reader compelled to
respond, one way or another.
