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