520 |a René Girard’s mimetic theory sees mimesis as the most central determinant of human behavior. According to him it also generated so much violence that it threatened the very existence of humanity. Yet, the same force also found a means to minimize and contain violence—through religion.

This article tries to give an overview of Girard’s theory with special consideration to the role of religion.
