In Search of Coherence: Introducing Marcel Jousse's Anthropology of Mimism

Marcel Jousses anthropology of mimism is a plea for a change of civilization. Our present-day Western civilization has decomposed the human being into a mind-soul-spirit and a body put writing as the apex of this humans expression and set this human as the conqueror of his world. Jousse pleads for a threefold re-composition: a human compound expressing himself as a whole and in exchange with a cosmos that he mimes and infuses with consciousness. What is needed is an evolution neither progressive nor regressive but an evolution in depth reconnecting the new with the old--in short coherence.
