• Sommario/riassunto: Desire in René Girard and Jesus presents a comprehensive analysis of René Girard's work on the origins of culture and the depths of human desire. Girard's hypothesis of mimesis discloses the lack of originality in human desire even as it offers a scientific method for handling religion after two centuries of its absence in the social science.
