 abstract = {This article examines the different theories of meeting offered by Durkheim, Mauss,                Sartre, Lévi-Strauss, Bohm, Levinas and Buber. Through this examination                we question the common assumption that social life, and more particularly the gift,                is based on exchange — on the sequence of giving, receiving and                reciprocating — which is fundamentally a Hegelian logic of subjects and                objects. While many aspects of social life take this form, true meeting is                characterized by a quality of grace; it occurs only when the Hegelian world gives                way to a presence that has a different temporality, spatiality and ontology. This                world is glimpsed, but inadequately conceptualized, in Durkheim s theory of                religious congregation, which is characterized by a tension between identity and                relational logics.},
