Ren Girard (19232015) was one of the leading thinkers of our eraa provocative sage who bypassed prevailing orthodoxies to offer a bold, sweeping vision of human nature, human history, and human destiny. His oeuvre, offering a mimetic theory of cultural origins and human behavior, inspired such writers as Milan Kundera and J. M. Coetzee, and earned him a place among the forty immortals of the Acadmie Franaise. Too often, however, his work is considered only within various academic specializations. This firstever biographical study takes a wider view. Cynthia L. Haven traces the evolution of Girards thought in parallel with his life and times. She recounts his formative years in France and his arrival in a country torn by racial division, and reveals his insights into the collective delusions of our technological world and the changing nature of warfare. Drawing on interviews with Girard and his colleagues, Evolution of Desire: A Life of Ren Girard provides an essential introduction to one of the twentieth centurys most controversial and original minds.
