Tracing the development of Levi-Strauss's thought, this book covers his early proposition that the function of the incest taboo is to initiate an exchange of women between groups, to his identification of a timeless pensee sauvage at work in the processes of cultural creation.

Tracing the development of Levi-Strauss's thought, this book covers his early proposition that the function of the incest taboo is to initiate an exchange of women between groups, to his identification of a timeless pensee sauvage at work in the processes of cultural creation. The book also pursues the major contribution that Levi-Strauss has made to contempoary aesthetic theory.
