Η έννοια του δώρου στον Jacques Derrida

The concept of the gift in Jacques Derrida

The aim of this thesis is the examination of the gift in Jacques Derrida’s thought. The first part analyzes the philosopher’s views regarding the relationship between the gift and the economy. Derrida captures the idea of the gift as that which interrupts the economy (aneconomic gift), hence as something that must remain non-exchangeable. Derrida criticizes the study of the anthropologist Marcel Mauss, The Gift: Forms and Functions of Exchange in Archaic Societies, in which Mauss handles the gift as being a total social fact and as a result the correlation between gift and economy and the annulment of the gift as such. Therefore, the first part also focuses on this criticism. In the second part, we examine the act of giving as an event. Also, according to the distinction of the analytical philosopher John Austin between the “constative utterances” and the “performative utterances”, we examine when a gift event takes place. This question leads to the third part where it is answered why Derrida claims that the gift event is impossible.
