    • Girard on Mimetic Desire

      Girard on Mimetic Desire
      May 20 2024
      In this episode, we explore René Girard's concept of mimetic desire, which posits that human desires are imitative, influenced by observing and emulating others, leading to rivalry and conflict. This idea is central to his interdisciplinary work, which explores how mimetic desire underpins social dynamics, violence, and the scapegoat mechanism. Despite criticisms of being overly deterministic and lacking empirical evidence, Girard's theory remains influential in understanding human behavior and cultural phenomena.

    • Camus on the Absurd

      Camus on the Absurd
      Apr 15 2024

      In this episode, we explore Albert Camus, a pivotal figure in 20th-century French philosophy, who introduced the concept of "the absurd," a fundamental conflict inherent in the human condition. His philosophy asserts that life is devoid of intrinsic meaning, yet humans instinctively seek order and purpose, leading to an inevitable clash with the indifferent universe. Camus' exploration of the absurd challenges individuals to embrace this tension without resort to false hopes, advocating for a life of integrity and defiance despite existential uncertainties.
