The Structuralists: From Marx to Levi-Strauss - Richard T. De George

The Structuralists: From Marx to Levi-Strauss

Richard T. De George & Fernande M. De George

The first purpose of this volume is to make representative writings from the most eminent structuralist thinkers easily available. They represent a variety of fields and have, in a sense, pioneered a new approach; they are consequently interdisciplinary sources of valuable in¬sights. The second purpose is to help place structuralism in a historical perspective. Marx, Freud, and Saussure are frequently ignored as precursors of present-day structuralism, and yet they developed many of the techniques used and elaborated upon by present scholars.

Each selection is self-contained and easily accessible; each is representative of a different position. They are also historically important in the development of structuralism. There are detailed introductions to place the writer and the selection in the proper context, thus making this volume an excellent introduction to the study of structuralism.
