The audiobook "The Scapegoat" by René Girard is a study on the concept of the scapegoat, which Girard sees as a key element of human society and culture. In his work, he analyzes how difference and violence in society lead to the creation of victims who become the object of collective discontent and aggression.

Girard sees the scapegoat as a symbolic figure through which society relieves its guilt and tension by directing aggression at an individual or group, which helps to temporarily restore social order. The book explores how this practice permeates not only religious and mythological traditions, but also contemporary cultural and social phenomena.

René Girard emphasizes the importance of understanding these mechanisms for the awareness and prevention of violence in society. His work offers profound insights into how we perceive and interpret violence and victimhood, and how these concepts influence our social and cultural practices.
