Systematically Episode 09 - The One about Girard and the Dialectic of Community
This episode proves that even when Robyn’s away, Jon, Ryan, and Brian will still be nerds (and argue about the Mars Volta and At the Drive-In!). First, we catch up on our recent pop culture consumption, as well as Ryan and Jon’s responses to toddler-initiated accidents. After a brief discussion of films about Formula 1 racing, Ryan gives us an overview of how René Girard’s mimetic theory relates to Lonergan’s scale of values. We then unpack Ryan’s observations by discussing how friendship, affectivity, politics, and grace complicate and illuminate Girard’s writings. Brian shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.
