Bunch of children in this thread.
Girard bent Nietzsche over and gave him a spanking. Post Nietzscheans will never recover and you guys are a bunch of kids. Grow up.

Ignore all other posts.

If you want the answer from a purely historical/anthropological point of view; if you want to be convinced by your own rules, then read Girard.

I recommend Things Hidden since the Foundation of the World.

He doesn't even try to convince you and he doesn't soap-box. It's completely empirical.
Any Christians who haven't read him, you're welcome.

I thought I told you not to show your face, gamin.
I solved what you couldn't Mon frere. I revealed what you tried to mythologise.

>solves the problem that drove Nietzsche mad
>Vindicated the Crucified against Dionysius

Heh...rien de personnel, gamin

Girard solved "the" problems. The fact that people circle around him without ever engaging with him is proof positive of that fact. All they can do is belittle but they can't refute.
This whole Chan is a shrine to his work in the way that everyone imitates the other. The mimetic rivalries that form between ideological opposites and the symmetry you all achieve while claiming difference is laughable. Girard solved the problems but, just like the pharmakoi of old, you all prefer to remain blind to your own interdependent desires for the sake of clinging onto Romantic notions which should have died with the Romantics.
Look at the way Girard is smiling at you. There's amusement but pity. He solved your problems but you cling to the skandalon and choose Satan as your arch-model rather than the crucified.
Stay with your tribe, your fellow guenonites, your Hindus, your poor poor post-modern structural deconstructionists. Keep singing the Psalms of Heidegger and Guattari and your phony literati.
Still, Girard smiles, because he knows your weakness is his. He solved the problem but you won't listen.

Still struggling with that whole vs. the Crucified thing hey, Fred.. ha... Tres bien
