In this, his most famous work, Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) presented
to the world a book which revolutionized our understanding of some
of the basic structures of society. A renowned anthropologist,
Mauss sought in this work to transcend empirical observation and
reach deeper realities. In so doing, he inaugurated a new era for
the social sciences.;By identifying the complex web of exchange and
obligation involved in the act of giving, Mauss called into
question many of our social conventions and economic systems. As
L'evi-Strauss remarked, "Few have managed to read it without
feeling the whole gamut of the emotions: the pounding heart, the
throbbing head, the mind flooded with the imperious, though not yet
definable, certainty of being present at a decisive event in the
evolution of science."
