| Summary: | René Girard’s radicalism is provocative. One of the reasons for the epistemological difficulties with the reception of his theory lies in the fact that his anthropology requires a positive attitude towards the problem of conversion. The author himself experienced a double conversion in his life. While working on his first major work, he discovered in himself the same changes in the context of self-knowledge and truth that the authors of the novels he analyzed described in their heroes. A few years later, the experience of an existential crisis - a possible cancer diagnosis - led to religious conversion and a return to the church community. The article reconstructs the mimetic theory as a fruit of conversion experiences, comparing Girard to St Augustine. |
