His work has had a profound impact not only within anthropology but also linguistics, sociology and philosophy. In this short book he examines the nature and role of myth in human history, distilling a lifetime of writing into a few sharp insights. It is a crystalline overview of many of the basic ideas underlying his work, including the theory of structuralism and the difference between 'primitive' and 'scientific' thought and shows why Levi-Strauss remains a hugely important intellectual figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a new foreword by Patrick Wilcken. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237484617879,"sku":"9781138142886","price":11621.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138142886.webp?v=1769216697","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/myth-and-meaning-9781138142886","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
