Génesis y poder de las sociedades primitivas. Berman y Girard

Abstract

The present essay begins with a brief introduction of Morris Berman and René Girard. I described the hominization theories of both authors. From hominization came out the main features of primitive societies. For Girard, these features are: an order of interdicts and ritual sacrifices. For Berman, the main features of primitive men are: trust to environment and to other people, and unattachment to other people, things and ideologies.
