The Savage Mind

The way he challenges Western notions of rationality and compares different modes of thinking is fascinating. I'm curious what motivated this specific angle and how it was received at the time.

Lévi-Strauss draws interesting parallels, but I wondered if some readers might see these as oversimplifications or overly idealized links between different ways of knowing.

The ideas about the universality of human cognition and the structural approach seem influential. I'd love to hear thoughts on its lasting impact or relevance in current debates.
