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.
