Levi-Strauss (Claude Lévi-Strauss)

Claude Lévi-Strauss was a French anthropologist known for his pioneering work in structuralism, a theoretical framework that explores the underlying patterns in human culture. He examined myths, kinship, and social structures, suggesting that these cultural expressions are shaped by universal human thought processes. Lévi-Strauss argued that the way people categorize and make sense of the world reveals deep-seated structures of the human mind. His work has influenced various fields, including anthropology, literature, and philosophy, highlighting the connections between different cultures and the shared frameworks that shape human experiences.
