Johnathan Bi — René Girard and the Philosophy of Innovation (EP.137)
Infinite Loops
The One Hit Wonder Gerard
I don't want to paint Gerard as a political radical in either hyperprogressive or hyperreactionary, although I think he does have both sort of instincts. He himself, I think, better described as apolitical. But when you really press him, and also let me be clear, his intuitions of normativity are reactionary, progressive against modern Western philosophical assumptions. That's not to say he himself was against those, because those intuitions naturally lend towards progressivism or reactionary movements but there's also a way to smuggle that in into the good old liberal democracy.
