Reviews

This is an important book because it clarifies mimetic theory s take on Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Scheler, and resentment, a key topic in the work of Rene Girard. I also like Tomelleri s political application that reflects on Italy s Lega Nord. The book is brilliantly clear and wonderful to read. Wolfgang Palaver, author of Rene Girard s Mimetic Theory
