■Contents(Excerpt from "BOOK" Data Base)

Although the noble philosophy of Levi-Strauss rejects easy and graphic understanding, this book enthusiastically approaches the core of the philosopher's work by focusing on his unique "attitudes towards the world," which leads to his "view of structuralism" at the base. Throughout his life of over 100 years, against what had he been fighting? This book discusses the morality of living and the alternative abundance for the modern world.
