The Logic of the Gift: Towards an Ethics of Generosity Book

The theme of the gift can be located at the center of current discussions of deconstruction, gender and feminist theory, ethics, philosophy, anthropology, and economics: it is, simply, one of the primary focal points at which contemporary interdisciplinary discourses intersect. Into this context comes a new, indispensable volume. The Logic of the Gift offers several important essays on gifts and gift-giving that are often referred to but seldom read, and adds to them new essays written esepcially for this collection. The list of contributors includes Emerson ("Gifts," from Essays and Lectures); Helene Cixous ("Castration or Decapitation"); Marshall Sahlins ("The Spirit of the Gift," from Stone Age Economics (1972)); Pierre Bourdieu, on Mauss and the gift; Gayatri Chakrovarty Spivak; Jacques Derrida; and Allan Stoekl on George Bataille.Read More
