Abstract
En este artículo indagaremos algunos de los puntos de partida que podría exigir una mímesis positiva en el terreno de la educación moral desde una postura esencialmente filosófica. Girard aparece como un gran desconocido para el mundo de la teoría de la educación y, sin embargo, su potente visión sobre el carácter del deseo nos ayuda a comprender algunos de los problemas que surgen en la visión educativa del role-modelling y que se convierten en el objetivo de nuestra investigación: las razones por las que alguien deja de admirar a una persona virtuosa y transita hacia deseos de tipo posesivo dominados por la envidia. Esta transición supone un reto para los que sostienen que el modelaje moral es una parte fundamental de la educación moral. Para tratar este problema necesitaremos conocer, asimismo, tanto el automatismo mimético y la rivalidad que surgen a menudo como consecuencia del deseo mimético, como el funcionamiento de la emoción de la admiración, cuya dirección intencional es opuesta a la envidia. El contexto de la investigación se realiza en función de lo ya obtenido al respecto en otras corrientes filosóficas, como los teóricos de la educación del carácter o de la teoría de las virtudes y cuyo recorrido académico no parece haber sido puesto en común con la filosofía de René Girard.
In this article we will explore some of the starting points that positive mimesis might require in the field of moral education from an essentially philosophical stance. Girard appears to be largely unknown to the world of educational theory, yet his powerful insights into the character of desire help us to understand some of the problems that arise in the educational vision of role-modelling and which become the focus of our research: the reasons why someone stops admiring a virtuous person and transitions to possessive desires dominated by envy. This transition poses a challenge to those who argue that moral modelling is a fundamental part of moral education. To address this problem, we will also need to understand both the mimetic automatism and rivalry that often arise as a consequence of mimetic desire, and the functioning of the emotion of admiration, whose intentional direction is the opposite of envy. The context of the research is based on certain conclusions already reached on this subject in other philosophical currents, such as the theory of character education or the theory of virtues, which do not seem to have been brought into line with the philosophy of René Girard.
