Levi-Strauss

Claude Lévi-Strauss was a French anthropologist and philosopher known for studying how human cultures share common stories, myths, and symbols. He believed that our minds process stories and myths in similar ways across different societies, revealing universal patterns. Lévi-Strauss argued that myths resolve contradictions and explain the world by organizing ideas through binary opposites, like good versus evil or life versus death. His work highlights how human thinking shapes cultural expressions and stories, providing insight into shared structures that underpin diverse civilizations.
