Perhaps the most influential anthropologist of his generation,
Claude Levi-Strauss left a profound mark on the development of
twentieth-century thought, equal to that of phenomenology and
existentialism. Through a fertile mixture of insights gleaned from
linguistics and from sociology and ethnology, Levi-Strauss
elaborated his theory of structural unity in culture and became the
preeminent representative of structural anthropology. La Pensee
sauvage, published in French in 1962, was his crowning achievement.
Ranging over philosophies, historical periods, and human societies,
it challenged the prevailing assumption of the superiority of
modern Western culture and sought to explain the unity of human
intellection. Unfortunately titled The Savage Mind when it first
published in English in 1966, the original translation nevertheless
sparked a fascination with Levi-Strauss's work among generations of
Anglophone readers. Wild Thought: A New Translation of "La Pensee
sauvage" rekindles that spark with a fresh and accessible new
translation. Including critical annotations for the contemporary
reader, it restores the accuracy and integrity of the book that
changed the course of twentieth-century thought, making it an
indispensable addition to any philosophical and anthropological
library.
