Anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss Remembered

in Life, Philosophy | November 3rd, 2009 1 Comment

News broke today that Claude Lévi-Strauss, one of France’s towering intellectuals, has died. He was 100 years old. The New York Times has a lengthy obit that covers the career of the anthropologist who brought us “structuralism” and helped us look at diverse cultures in new ways. NPR has also aired a short piece (in audio) that highlights Lévi-Strauss’ intellectual accomplishments. You can listen below.

    Hello Sensei,

    No, this is not my extra credit submission, though I’d like to be.
    It is a short recorded interview with a synopsis of Levi-Strauss’s his work.
