DIAZ LEGUIZAMON, Juan Manuel. ELEMENTS FOR A RECONSTRUCTION OF A PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY IN RENÉ GIRARD. Univ. philos. [online]. 2010, vol.27, n.55, pp.75-91. ISSN 0120-5323.

As a part of the setting-up of his mimetic theory, René Girard produces a particular way of reading the different events, processes, characters and issues of history. In such interpretation it is possible to trace elements of a sort of philosophy of history including not only an special posture on the historical method of reconstruction, comprehension and elucidation, which belongs to the historiographic discipline, but a series of consequences referred to the theory of history with respect to its end and organization. The foregoing could provide new paths to continue the exploration within the depth of the French philosopher's thought.

Palabras clave : Girard; mimetic theory; philosophy of history; victims; violence.
