About This Book

With this book I have two aims. The first is to demonstrate why classical humanism appears to be obsolete from a post-humanistic perspective, and the second is to illustrate the contribution made by mimetic theory to the comprehension of the subject. In the first part of the paper we shall see why the notion of identity proposed by classical humanism is entirely inadequate towards the comprehension of the reality of man, that is relational historicity. In the second part we shall see how René Girard's hypothesis is effective in terms of the hermeneutics of the subject and perfectly in tune with a post-humanist consideration of reality.
