  • Book Description

    The most celebrated of twentieth-century anthropologists, Claude Lévi-Strauss' work has been influential across the entire field of the humanities and social sciences. Christopher Johnson looks at the formative part of his career, examining his definitions of anthropology, his theory of structuralism, his ideas on modern and 'primitive' civilizations, and his autobiographical writing, and showing how these different parts of his work link up. This book aims to explain not only what Lévi-Strauss thinks, but how he thinks, and to explore the different intellectual contexts which have shaped his thought.
