Claude Lévi-Strauss

Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908-2009) was a French anthropologist and ethnologist who is considered one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. He is best known for his work on structuralism, a theoretical approach that analyzes human culture by breaking it down into its underlying structures. Lévi-Strauss's work has had a profound impact on a wide range of fields, including anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and literary criticism.
