Mimetic desire, scapegoating: if you’ve been hearing these terms
thrown around lately, it’s because the French Catholic philosopher
René Girard (1923-2015) is having a renaissance, with powerful
people like J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel citing his influence on
their thought. Trevor Cribben Merrill, producer of the new
documentary Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René
Girard, joins the podcast to discuss Girard’s principal ideas,
and reflect on aspects of his thought which seem difficult to
reconcile with Catholic doctrine.
