He authored numerous books across various academic disciplines such as literary criticism, critical theory, anthropology, theology, mythology, sociology, economics, cultural studies, and philosophy. Girard focused on the psychology of desire, suggesting that human desire is imitative rather than originating spontaneously from individuality. He also introduced the concept of the scapegoat mechanism, examining its significance in human origins and anthropology.
