Did you read Part 2? I don’t agree with Girard’s religious conclusions either—but that doesn’t mean his psychological observations don’t have merit. Very different from Scientology to explain many of the cognitive phenomena I myself have empirically experienced. https://joukovsky.substack.com/p/deceit-desire-and-the-novel-part-5d5?s=w
Thank you very much,
Yes I will read part 2, I am looking forward to reading your book.
I wonder what you are going to tackle next for your next writing project?
It is natural to have your own desires and I do not need Luke or Girard to tell me I am modelling them on someone else's .
cheers

Hi Natasha, I find this post unreadable with too many abstractions. Have you read the critique Why Girardians Exist. No different to Scientology ?
