Ethos of conversión. Between ethics and politics in René Girard BETWEEN ETHICS AND POLITICS IN RENÉ GIRARD
Main Article Content
Abstract
Conversion in the philosophy of René Girard turns out to be a very important concept. In this text we want to postulate that Girardian conversion should not only be understood as a religious transformation but also as a complex act that calls for a change in human behavior or ethos and is therefore halfway between ethics and politics. For the above, we will study, first, mimesis in Girard's work; second, conversion in the philosopher's work, for which we will address the concepts of metanoia and epistrophē; and third, we will conclude that conversion demands an ethical procedure of revision of one's own conduct and a political procedure of peace and reconciliation.
