CLAUDE LEVI STRAUSS
assumes that the human mind always and everywhere works in the same ways. For Levi-Strauss, the leading idea is that the human mind operates in terms of binary oppositions and that such oppositions structure all the phenomena of human culture.
All represenattions therefore have ideologies behind them.Certain paradigms are encoded into texts and others are elft out in order to give a preffered representation.
His books include The Raw and the Cooked, The Savage Mind, Structural Anthropology and Totemism (Encyclopedia of World Biography).
"The world began without the human race and will certainly end without it,” he said in his 1955 autobiographical book- Tristes Tropiques.
