What is the significance of Structuralism for social science? How
original is Levi-Strauss' contribution to social theory? Is he
Marxist? Though Structuralism, and its leading representative
Levi-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
Levi-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.
