René Girard’s breakthrough consists in uncovering the mechanism of violence, namely the mimesis and rivalry it permits. Yet, mimetic violence still leaves the very origin of evil and murder unquestioned. Here Lévinas plays (or should play) a decisive role: the call to murder only becomes possible as one of the versions of the call of the face, the call of the other. This is what Girard should have taken up in order to clarify his final allusions to a “good mimesis”—this other, properly Christic, possibility of the call of the face.

暴力与宽恕：从一种模仿到另一种模仿

René Girard 的突破在于揭示了暴力的机制，即它允许的模仿和竞争。然而，模仿暴力仍然使邪恶和谋杀的根源毋庸置疑。在这里，莱维纳斯扮演（或应该扮演）决定性的角色：谋杀的呼唤只有作为面部呼唤的一种版本才有可能，另一个版本的呼唤。这就是吉拉德应该采取的措施，以澄清他对“好的模仿”的最后暗示——这是另一种正确的基督化的面孔召唤的可能性。
