Outra recomendação para quem quer começar a estudar Literatura: Muita gente gostou da indicação das aulas do prof. Rafael Silva, então aqui vai outra: Procurem o canal do professor Bernardo Lins Brandão, filho do grande Jacyntho Lins Brandão. Assistam às aulas das playlists "Fundamentos de Literatura Grega" e "Introdução à Tragédia Grega". As aulas são ótimas, bem explicadas e eu gosto muito de como o prof. Bernardo une Filosofia e Literatura. Além dos conteúdos literários, sempre tem alguma pitada de sabedoria.








Just discovered Berthold Laufer. Wrote books on: 1. The role of the giraffe in history 2. The early history of tobacco in Europe 3. Reindeer domestication 4. The use of human skills in Tibetan religious rituals 5. The prehistory of aviation 6. The narwhal ivory trade etc.



Not accurate. Girard works off the same basic structure as Hobbes, the same anthropological axioms and nothing ecclesiological. The point about “immanent transformation of desire” is also wrong. Girard does not believe desire can be elevated. He thinks human appetite is infinite and unstable, that rivalry multiplies without limit, and that the accumulation of mimetic impulses pushes societies toward an apocalyptic horizon. Girard is, in many ways, more pessimistic than Hobbes, because Hobbes still believes political authority can stabilize the problem. Girard doesn’t. More importantly, and this is absolutely crucial, Girard sees violence as a mimetic contagion that accelerates precisely because Christian revelation dismantles the old sacrificial mechanisms that kept it under control.
