René Girard Quotes

Quotations from René Girard

Current thought is the castration of meaning.

Religion has a function that goes beyond faith and the veracity of the monotheistic gift: " The prohibition of human sacrifices. The modern world has decided that the prohibition is the nonsense".

In a certain sense, science has become a new mythology, man who creates life.

Mankind is the species that can always destroy itself. Fot this reason it created religion.

Postmodern philosophy is based on the assumption that history is finished.

Today Christianity is much more realistic than the optimism of science that creates man only to kill him.
