Christianity and mythology at René Girard’s mymetic theorie

Abstract

We present the relationship René Girard established between Christianity and the various forms of mimicry. We analyze the revelatory power that Girard gives to Christianity as a historical force of de-mythologizing. The apparent similarities between the Gospel and the most primitive pagan myths are due to this process of revelation, where Christianity performs a genuine anthropological revolution. This revolution is a manifestation of the mimetic nature of desire and the possibility of its transformation into a faculty to improve the man.
