Abstract
Alain Caillé, the founder of the Mouvement du MAUSS, presents an influential interpretation of Marcel Mauss’s classic Essay on the Gift as a foundational text of and for an anti-utilitarian theory of action. This article returns to Mauss’s seminal essay and presents the paradigm of the gift by resituating the MAUSSian reading within the French field of Maussology. While the article is largely sympathetic to the anti-utilitarian project, it also develops critiques and theoretical suggestions of its own.
马塞尔-莫斯(Marcel Mauss)的经典著作《礼物论》(Essay on the Gift)是反功利主义行动理论的奠基之作,马塞尔-莫斯运动的创始人阿兰-卡耶(Alain Caillé)对这本书进行了颇具影响力的解读。这篇文章回到了毛斯的这篇开创性文章,将毛斯的解读重新置于法国的毛斯学领域中,从而提出了礼物的范式。虽然文章在很大程度上同情反功利计划,但也提出了自己的批评和理论建议。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Classical Sociology publishes cutting-edge articles that will command general respect within the academic community. The aim of the Journal of Classical Sociology is to demonstrate scholarly excellence in the study of the sociological tradition. The journal elucidates the origins of sociology and also demonstrates how the classical tradition renews the sociological imagination in the present day. The journal is a critical but constructive reflection on the roots and formation of sociology from the Enlightenment to the 21st century. Journal of Classical Sociology promotes discussions of early social theory, such as Hobbesian contract theory, through the 19th- and early 20th- century classics associated with the thought of Comte, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, Veblen.
