Book Launch | 'Homo Mimeticus' | Friday, Nov. 18th 2022 | 4:00pm - 5:30pm CET

Homo Mimeticus

Imitation is, perhaps more than ever, constitutive of human originality.

Crossing disciplines as diverse as philosophy, aesthetics, and politics, Homo Mimeticus proposes a new theory of one of the most influential concepts in western thought (mimesis) to confront some of the hypermimetic challenges of the
present and future.

Nidesh Lawtoo is professor of philosophy and literature at KU Leuven and principal investigator of the ERC project, Homo Mimeticus.
