Made significant contributions to the psychology of desire. Argued that human desire functions imitatively or mimetically rather than arising spontaneously from individuality. Described the triangular process of desire, where individuals copy and appropriate desires from others, often without recognizing the source. This process influences identity formation, knowledge transmission, social norms, and material aspirations.
