This reintroduction to the life and work of Marcel Mauss highlights
his coherent and original thought both as an academic and an
engaged intellectual of his time. Since his work regained attention
in social sciences in the later 20th century, Reintroducing Marcel
Mauss also emphasises the progression of research on Mauss’s
thought, bringing to light various neglected aspects of his
scientific project, including his political commitment and
writings. With a review of the contemporary research on Mauss’s
legacy, it offers a fuller understanding of the questions with
which he was concerned – questions which converged in the
challenge of working out alternative ways for a social life that
promotes a genuinely social society inspired by socialist and
cooperative values. It will therefore appeal to scholars of
sociology and anthropology with interests in the history and
development of sociology, and the contemporary importance of
classical social theory.
