  • Summary

  • In this episode, Anna and Patrick discuss Rene Girard's theory of imitative desire and how it shapes us in various  areas of our lives. Often, what we think we want is not really what we want. But how can we know the difference between mimetic and authentic desires? And what does living in cities have to do with it? How might our deeper goals in life be affected by broader cultural scripts?
