Wild Thought: A New Translation of La Pense sauvage,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
As the most influential anthropologist of his generation, Claude LviStrauss left a profound mark on the development of twentiethcentury thought. Through a mixture of insights gleaned from linguistics, sociology, and ethnology, LviStrauss elaborated his theory of structural unity in culture and became the preeminent representative of structural anthropology. La Pense sauvage, first 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.Controversially titled The Savage Mind when it was first published in English in 1966, the original translation nevertheless sparked a fascination with LviStrausss work among Anglophone readers. Wild Thought 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 intellectual life in the twentieth century, making it an indispensable addition to any philosophical or anthropological library.
