His books in English include Sade: The Invention of the Libertine Body (Minnesota, 1999), Claude Lévi-Strauss and the Making of Structural Anthropology (Minnesota, 2001), and The Price of Truth: Gift, Money, and Philosophy (Stanford, 2010). Jean-Louis Morhange (Translator) Jean-Louis Morhange is the translator of Pascal Baudry's French and Americans: The Other Shore (Les Frenchies, Inc., 2005) and of Marcel Hénaff's The Price of Truth: Gift, Money, and Philosophy (Stanford, 2010). Klappentext For philosophers, the gift fascinates because it demands disinterested generosity. Yet anthropology offers another view. Reciprocity, rather than disinterestedness, Hénaff shows, is central to ceremonial giving, alliance, and the social bond. From actual gift practices, Hénaff develops an original and profound theory of symbolism, the social, and the relationship between self and other.
