  • Saving the Baby

    We’ve heard it and thought it many times that modernity has been throwing out the baby with the bath water. Bi is fantastically finding the baby and and trying to save him. So should you.

  • Well done!!

    This is a very comprehensive overview of Girard’s work. You use plenty of relevant, real-life examples to show how useful and important it is to understand Girard’s theory. This is fine at an academic level, so some may get lost with some of the ideas, but it is worth listening to it several times. Thank you very much and I highly recommend this!

  • Fantastic

    Love the podcast’s content, extremely well thought out analysis of Girard. I also recommend reading through the transcripts. It does bug me that Lecture 4 appears more recent chronologically than Lecture 5, but that’s a minor detail. Definitely recommend.
