7Should Philosophers Still Read Mauss? Thoughts on Contemporary American PoliticsJournal of Speculative Philosophy 28 (3): 389-400. 2014.ABSTRACT Following the publication of Derrida's Given Time, a great deal of philosophical attention was devoted to gifts and gift exchange as well as Marcel Mauss's Essay on the Gift.

The title also hearkens back to Allison’s groundbreaking 1977 anthology, The New Nietzsche, which for many served as their first introduction to the new styles of interpreting Nietzsche’s texts that were taking place in France and would become associated with the work of Derrida, Deleuze, Kofman, Blanchot, Klossowski, and others. Less obvious, but no less important to Allison’s interpretation, is …Read more
