The Mimetic Brain

by Jean-Michel Oughourlian

The discovery of mirror neurons in the 1990s led to an explosion of research and debate about the imitative capacities of the human brain. Some herald a paradigm shift on the order of DNA in biology, while others remain skeptical. In this revolutionary volume Jean- Michel Oughourlian shows how the hypotheses of Ren Girard can be combined with the insights of neuroscientists to shed new light on the "mimetic brain."
