Claude Levi-Strauss R.I.P.

[GregCentauro]

One of our most gifted philosophers, anthropologists and stand-up comedians has sadly passed away. We will never forget his brilliant one-liners like this one:

In the case of European towns, the passing of centuries provides an enhancement; in the case of American towns, the passing of years brings degeneration

:bowdown: Gone, but nor forgotten, old man!

I read his book "The Raw and the Cooked". Talk about a heavy tome. It was very insightful. At least Noam Chomsky is still alive. They don't make people like that anymore.

RIP

When even Wittgenstein can't help...

Language is a form of human reason, which has its internal logic of which man knows nothing.

You're absolutely right. Education is bad! Philosophy is socialism! :throwup:

Here's an article about him for the under educated on this board which seems to be mostly those on the right.

Levi-Strauss’s grand ambition has been to discover the universal laws of human thought underlying the great diversity of cultures known to Anthropology.

It doesn't surprise me to see your name and avatar in a thread concerning Levi-Strauss.

Actually I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a minor in History from Robert Morris University class of 2000. Nothing like making a blanket statement about someone's education bases on their political leanings.

Oh, you are a business major. That explains a lot.

I WAS a business major after I changed my major from education, actually I am looking hard into going back and getting my master's in education. Always wanted to be a history teacher.
