Claude Levi-Strauss의 구조주의 小考 = A Study on Structuralism of Claude Levi-Strauss

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Structuralism we call it today can be regarded as the fact that Levi-Strauss has developed it most systematically in the methodical dimension. At present, structuralism is being accepted extensively as a view of the world or a ideology beyond the restricted field or the theoretical discussion in connection with the anthropological issues. Accordingly. this paper will speculate about his life, his intellectual background and growth, and his achievements and ideas (esp. the basic structure of relative the primitive classification of myth) in order to understand the structuralism as known the central core of his ideas.
Today structuralism, as a representative of French philosophy, is taking a lead the intellectual circle of the world and it is Levi-Strauss who originated structuralism. He succeeded to the methodology of Saussure and Jacobson who are linguists and established the structural anthropology. His ideas were directly connected with the structuralism in France, which was extended into Lacan's Supernatural Psychology, Althusser's Marxism and Foucault's Philosophy etc. so formed as a huge main-stream.
His anthropology, which tries to understand cultural phenomenon and human society from a structural view, is founded on Kant's Philosophy which denies a transcendental being, On the other hand, it opposes directly against Sartre's existential philosophy which affected France widely in the early twentieth century.
Levi-Strauss depends on the data of primitive people treated as the object of existing anthropology. At the same time, he seeks universality of human being.
