Reviews

"Intellectual Sacrifice and Other Mimetic Paradoxes is an excellent piece of historical and critical research. Bubbio's book travels far and wide down many paths, and exemplarily shows the violent struggle between a metaphysical philosophy and a metaphysical religion in the history of Western thought. Intellectual Sacrifice and Other Mimetic Paradoxes is one of the best works on mimetic theory that I have ever read."
