Raven Foundation favorite, Prof. Paul Dumouchel, joined me on November 28 for a wide-ranging conversation about American politics following the midterm elections. Prof. Dumouchel is a respected scholar of political philosophy and an expert in mimetic theory. He applied Girard’s insights about rivalry and conflict to a variety of issues, including President Trump’s rejection of his own government’s reports on the impact of climate change and the involvement of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. We also discussed Trump’s accusations that court judgments against him are the result of political bias. The question that haunted our discussion was this: What happens to politics when skepticism dominates and we all suspect one another of ulterior motives and hidden agendas? The Raven Foundation is delighted to make Prof. Dumouchel’s illuminating perspective available to you.
