A Genealogy of the Gift

2017 , Scalzo, Germán

This chapter takes a look at the gift, in which academic interest has recently grown, especially after the release of Benedict XVI’s social encyclical Caritas in Veritate. It outlines a genealogy of the gift, briefly presenting the three main stages of its evolution: (1) the ceremonial gift, typical of the ancient world and found in the cultural anthropological approach that the French tradition later adopted (Mauss, Caillé, Hénaff, etc.); (2) the moral gift, which Aristotle first outlined to explain the emergence of the city; and (3) the personal gift, developed in the Middle Ages thanks to Christian Revelation and its corresponding idea of the person. © Perspectives on Philosophy of Management and Business Ethics

Trabajo, don, cultura y economía: hacia un nuevo enfoque del problema económico

2020 , Martínez-Echeverría y Ortega, Miguel Alfonso , Scalzo, Germán

The recent recovery of the notion of gift has highlighted the importance of human life’s cultural dimension, contributing to the configuration of an economical approach based on a more robust and realistic anthropology that revolves around human sociability, sustained in the family, rather than the individual. The transformation of nature that takes place would not be possible without man’s ability to discover the possibilities that are hidden within nature itself, and that man makes clear through the contribution of his work with which he activates the most valuable elements of his act of being, namely his freedom, his ability to know and love. From an anthropological approach to economics, this work contributes to the reflection on the foundations and meaining of the economic activity. © 2020 Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Servicio de Publicaciones.

La lógica del don en las relaciones humanas: Economía y reciprocidad a la luz de los radicales polianos

2022 , Scalzo, Germán , Moreno-Almárcegui, Antonio

Con el fin de cuestionar la primacía del contrato sobre la lógica del don en la modernidad, se contrastan tres arquetipos de relación social a la luz de los radicales polianos, así como los tipos de reciprocidad que se derivan de cada uno de ellos. A la reciprocidad cerrada-dual moderna se opone la reciprocidad abierta-triádica, que es la que caracteriza a las relaciones de don, tanto en su versión clásica como cristiana. Se concluye que sólo el radical cristiano de la persona integra la lógica del don con el sentido radical de la libertad, desde una antropología que complementa la práctica de virtudes como camino de perfección moral con la apertura a la trascendencia y la ayuda al más necesitado. ©2022 Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra.
