For philosophers, the gift fascinates because it demands disinterested generosity. Yet anthropology offers another view. Reciprocity, rather than disinterestedness, H駭aff shows, is central to ceremonial giving, alliance, and the social bond. From actual gift practices, H駭aff develops an original and profound theory of symbolism, the social, and the relationship between self and other.
