Girard starts to read Illich but doesn’t get the whole “conviviality” thing, but Ellul is just like “this is just like my thing too man”

In view of the above observations, we might say that an ethic for a tech-
nical society could only be characterized as an ethic of non-power, of
freedom, of conflicts, and of transgression.
But before going over these four points, it would seem important to
recall that there are many authors who, using different terms, go in the
same direction. When Bertrand de Jouvenel asks that modern man
practice friendliness (an art of living whereby one starts by seeking
what might suit the neighbor, and never uses extreme means, 207
Georges Friedmann speaks of Wisdom, 108 Ivan Illich of Conviviality, 109
Jean Fourastié of personal discipline (which he unfortunately sees real-
ized in the scientific mentality,"° Edward Goldsmith,'' etc., in each
case it is about a reduction of power, a discovery of what is more essen-
tial for man to live in this universe, and each time it is a moral quality
that allows one not to use all means possible.

French guys are allowed to have only one “explains everything” theory and they are mutually incomprehensible

But this Ellulian interpretation of René
Girard's work also has the other great virtue of considerably enriching the file on the articulation between the two bodies of thought. Jean-Claude Guillebaud, as editor to both men, and indebted to them for having "become a Christian again," as he testifies in his intellectual and spiritual autobiography, regretted he had not managed to enable them to meet: despite a few exchanges he was able to provoke, René Girard, according to him, "would prove absolutely impermeable to any critique of technique and to any ecological approach."
