Description
What is the significance of Structuralism for social science? How original is L̩vi-Strauss' contribution to social theory? Is he Marxist? Though Structuralism, and its leading representative L̩vi-Strauss, are central to sociology, anthropology and psychology, the complexity of his work and the obscurity of his commentators have often proved a barrier to understanding. Now for the first time, Dr Badcock provides a jargon-free assessment of L̩vi-Strauss' place in the tradition of French sociological thought Рparticularly to predecessors such as Comte, Durkheim and Mauss Рdiscusses his relationship to Marx, Sartre, Freud and Talcott Parsons and provides a concise, non-technical account of his complex ideas on kinship, totenism and myth.
