This is the most in depth conversation I've ever had about Rene Girard and his Mimetic Theory. Luke Burgis and Johnathan Bi take us on a journey through Mimetic Desire, Christian Wisdom, Phenomenological theories, Buddhist philosophy, and more.

Both Bergis and Bi had their lives transformed by Rene Girard’s observations. But they became frustrated with his prescriptions. They started asking: “But what should we actually do about Mimetic Theory?”

They each wrote a book to answer that question. Luke Burgis wrote one called Wanting and Johnathan Bi wrote one called Completing Girard. I hope you enjoy this interview, and get the chance to read both of their exceptional book projects.
