The main source of criticism directed against Gans' work comes from René Girard himself, who claims that Generative Anthropology is just another version of social contract theories of origins. Others take issue with Gans' conservative political views as expressed in his Chronicles of Love and Resentment. Gans has entered into constructive conversation with contrasting views on Middle Eastern politics in his published dialogue with Ammar Abdulhamid: "A Dialogue on the Middle East and Other Subjects."
