SAMPLE ANSWER
Sample
answer (of q.5):
Beginning with his 1961 work Deceit,
Desire, and the Novel [Fr.
Mensonge romantique
et vrit Romanesque],
the
philosopher and cultural theorist Ren Girard (1923-2015) outlined a theory of
human desire that took the idea of mimesis as its starting point. By this,
Girard meant that the human beings desires are fundamentally imitative; while
we do not need to learn to have appetitive drives (for instance, to quench our
thirst, sate our hunger, seek warmth, and so on), we do learn to desire what we
desire (Girard 1-4).

85-100 words. Then? Then maybe something like
The question of the newness of Girards
theory is a vexed one. There is no question that Girards theory has several
precedents. Most likely the earliest of these was Aristotles claim in Poetics that
the human is the most mimetic creature in the world (Cited in Fleming 95.)
And similar or at least overlapping claims about human imitation were made
by Spinoza, Rousseau and Hobbes, amongst others (Palaver 95-110). What is
distinct about Girards conception is
