What is mimetic theory?
Mimetic theory is a unified theory of the social sciences. It unites the fields of psychology, cultural anthropology, sociology, history, mythology and literature through a startling insight into human nature and conflict. Through its probing analysis of how societies protect themselves against their own violence, it has profound implications for religion and theology. Mimetic theory challenges our assumptions about violence, peace and ourselves, offering a way to re-imagine the very foundation of human communities.
