Description

This Routledge volume examines Marcel Mauss's foundational contribution to social theory and cooperation studies, positioning his seminal 1925 essay "The Gift" as a classic of pragmatist, interactionist and anti-utilitarian thought. The book challenges the traditional sociological divide between self-interest and normative action, revealing overlooked dimensions of social interaction that fall between these poles. By reconsidering Mauss's work through a pragmatist lens, the study demonstrates how gift exchanges operate according to their own internal logic, distinct from both pure economic exchange and purely moral obligation. This critical analysis reshapes understanding of cooperation in social systems and provides essential reading for scholars of anthropology, sociology and social theory seeking to move beyond utilitarian frameworks.

Key Features

Challenges the self-interest versus normative action dichotomy that has limited sociological understanding.

Provides anti-utilitarian perspective on social cooperation and gift exchange mechanisms.

Published by Routledge as part of the Global Cooperation Series for academic research.
