Bocharova, V. V. Violence as the Social Phenomenon in Rene Girard’s Interpretation

Abstract: The article studies the conception of a famous French anthropologist Rene Girard about the nature of violence as a social phenomenon and ways of its transformation in the primitive society, in particular, during the transfer from barbarianism to civilization. Generally accepting this conception, the author yet notes that there is the logic ‘error of the circle’: transformation of violence creates the conception thinking. The latter is the condition for understanding the malignancy of violence for the survival of the primitive society.


Keywords:

philosophy, violence, society, conception, phenomenon, civilization, transformation.
