Origins

The philosophers who inspired Eric Gans to conceive of Generative Anthropology can primarily be accredited to french philosophers René Girard and Jacque Derrida. Having been colleagues for a semester with René Girard in 1978, Eric Gans conceived of the originary hypothesis when adapting René Girard mimetic scapegoat hypothesis with his own theses on the declarative sentence being arrived from a more primitive ostensive. When those ideas were combined with Jacque Derrida's notion of deferral and différance, Generative Anthropology was born.
