Levi-Strauss : Structuralism and Sociological Theory Hardback
by C.R. Badcock
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Social Theory series
Hardback
Description
What is the significance of Structuralism for social science?
How original is Lévi-Strauss' contribution to social theory?
Is he Marxist? Though Structuralism, and its leading representative Lévi-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 Lévi-Strauss' place in the tradition of French sociological thought – particularly to predecessors such as Comte, Durkheim and Mauss – discusses 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.
